To each his own.
There is no "really" complete collection. If you look at the
LMC, you find there are about three that will be VERY hard to get. One definitely, the 1909-S VDB My set has all but that one. I say my set, better said my most complete set. I have several others, in various stages of completeness. It is a non-ending goal. As one fills, the next comes to the fore. If one collects varieties, then you have your work cut out for you! Check coppercoins.com. If you are a member, you know what I mean. If not, join, and you will see that is there! The
IHC collections are not as extensive as the
LMC, but they will set you back a whole lot more! Seems like, as we fill a hole here, and there, there always is a few more that need to be filled. In my case, as the
LMC become "scarce", my Canadian cents collection seems to have new coins that have to be added, (and that applies to any coin collection, if it is modern. I hope to collect all the cions I need for my sets, but at the ssame time, I know it will never happen. (I plan on living a long time, but not forever) just like a world traveler, there is always one more bridge to cross. happy hunting to all!
Dick!
