So What Classic US Series Have You Recently Started?

Nothing wrong with that! Cool!

I think I collect all US coins. Many Albums were started but sort of put aside as the cost of many of the coins just got out of hand. My Sitting Liberty Dimes sort of came to a halt for that reason. Bust coins are way to expensive now. Only two left in my Large Cent Album but it is Year only. I think it's about time I tried for the 2 Cent coins.

Very gradually pulling together a pre-1934 Mercury dime and walking liberty set. Bought a few key walkers and assorted mercuries at my local pawn shop...just lucky to stumble upon that. Planning to buy just those Dansco pages and a blank binder. Looking to work on a G-VG set first and then maybe do a second F-VF/XF set down the road; with supplemental semi-key date purchases to round out investment potential (i.e., common dates just for fun in filling holes).

Everyone I mention this plan to says the same thing (at LCS and here at CCF): why just pre-1934?

Have not finished my MS Lincoln set (09 to present) - but - VERY close. Key dates are done (have not upgraded the 14 D to MS though.

Washington quarters - close, very close. Couple early dates are tough to find in good quality (as in, not being messed with - AU coin at MS price!!)

Buffs...oh those wonderful buffs. HARD set to grade within the various years and mints. Very unique series.

IHC - another set, always in process of adding to. Neither of the two keys in hand.

Not sure if I made a mistake ... But I went a little crazy a few months ago.
Bought several new Dansco albums.

Large cent
Three album set modern Commemorative dollars
Classic commemorative type album
All three Barber albums dime, quarter and Half dollar
Three Cent nickel/Two cent album

I had a lot of coins sitting in 2X2 boxes that went into these
albums. I like them much better in the albums.

I hope that now with coins come into LCS's in my area, that catch
my eye, and if I can buy them, I will have a place to put them.

The three album modern Commemorative doable albums are
becoming some of my favorites in my collection.

I would recommend the Three Cent nickel/Two cent album.
It has a page for the 3CN and a page for the Two Cent coins.
I have a few coins in each page and want to get more.
I am doing them in circulation grades, so far the price per
coin has not been to bad.

Thanks man! Will do.

I've taken another look at my Buffalo nickel set,which is missing the 13d&s type 2, and there are some I'm not happy with in there.
My next coin is the 13-d then I'm going to do some upgrading. My criteria was original coins with readable dates but a few have enviromental damage, and a few are not 4 digit dates (which are clear enough).

So moral of the story to new collectors, take your time and do it right the first time.

And enjoy the Liberty nickels Dave, I know you'll do it right the first time. My other "next coin" was to be the 1886 but I'm going with a nice 13d buff instead.
