For complete sets of U.S. issues, Susan B. Anthony dollars have only 12 mint state coins and 6 proofs to get a complete set. None are expensive in MS/PF65.

There are still similar sets that are easy to completely assemble?

Very affordable if you stay MS-65 or less and PR-69. The uncirculated 1981-S is a killer MS-66 and above.

Ikes are relatively inexpensive as well.

Another one is Lincoln Memorial cents, 1959-2008. A lot more coins than the SBA series, but all very inexpensive typically even in gem uncirculated grades for the basic complete date/mint set.

2019 W quarter series.
2020 W V75 quarter series.

in the set registry they are called
"THE PCGS 2019 QUARTER QUEST"
"THE PCGS 2020 QUARTER QUEST"

either one is a 5 coin set. I can't think of a shorter set to participate in. although I'd think at some point they are going to make a registry set for type 2 silver eagles in which case you might want to get in on that at the beginning but that will be a much longer and larger registry set BUT they might leave them in the same general silver eagle series.

any way you participate on any category of the registry sets, you gotta spend some serious money for an all-time finest set or top set. There is no "cheapest" when it comes to top pop coins and top rated registry sets though in any series.

I know you said "Simple an Cheap", but don't you want to have a collection of coins that you can enjoy? I would highly recommend going with a coin you like and take your time.

Something I've come to believe... Simple, Cheap and Good are things you can only have two of and the third is opposite. If it's simple and cheap, it won't be good. If it's cheap and good, it won't be simple, etc.

@BamaBlue, Just recently, I received : 25C 1857, 25C 1932-D, 10C 1908-D. I am incredibly pleased with this purchase and consider these coins a wonderful addition to my collection.
I'm worried about something else. I am collecting several series and I believe that I will not be able to finish them soon because some of the coins require a good investment of time and money. I just want to have at least a few simple sets of PCGS to enjoy the assembled set at 100%, and not at 44%, 23% , etc. I have already started collecting a set of "2000 Proof Set" for completion, I need 12 more coins and according to my calculations, this will require$ 110+ delivery. For$ 100, you can buy a good classic coin. Or is it still worth moving away from this idea to calm down ?

Well... collecting is art not science. Everyone has their own goals and interests. I think you should do whatever makes you comfortable.

My interest in a coin is my #1 driver. There are some coins that others love, that I have no interest (Barber quarters, Indian Head Pennies, State Quarters, etc.)... I couldn't imagine putting any energy into them. On the other hand, Mercury dimes, Liberty Halfs, ASEs, Franklin Halfs (among others) are like crystal meth... I will chase shawdows to the ends of the earth to obtain them. FOr me, the hunt is much more exciting than the kill (figuratively speaking).

Whatever you chose to do, I wish you happiness and success!

Hi Slerk,

I know it's addressed to BamaBlue, but I'm chiming in anyways.
Are you looking to make a registry set of something or what are you doing basically? you said "I have already started collecting a set of "2000 Proof Set" for completion"

if you look at those sets, everyone is tied for #1, or lower, every coin in every set is PR70DCAM. You could do it of course, but why? I'd think the 2000S Kennedy in PR70 are going to cost you about $65 for the silver and $35 for the clad, and that's those alone all to be tied for 1 with 31 other people? I have no idea how you do the silver proofs all in PR70DCAM for under $100 but more power to ya if you can pull it off.

Personally I don't worry about the registry sets and just fill my albums. If you have interest in registry set building, Settle on something you have a shot of completing with one or two coins that are a high grade examples that you already own, that few others would have also and build around that for something exceptional.

Just saying the registry set thing is a competition, unless you are going to try to compete, I'd just stay away from it myself, but that's up to you. if you want to do it for fun or something you could try lowball sets, everymans collection, 10 best coins, box of 20, there's lots of other categories to play around with that don't necessarily require completing a set that you can compete in with what you have.
