are you working on at a time?
right now I have 6 sets of lincolns in progress( I'm building sets for every grade ) I doubt I will live long enough to complete them but its something I have always wanted in my collection.
I am also working on mercs, and Mexican date sets 1899 to 1957.

Primarily, the 7070 type set. I bought a Merc Dansco several months ago, but never started it until the last week. I went to the shop and saved 20 or so Mercs from the furnace  Also have the Lincoln (09-Date) Dansco, although I haven't actively worked on it in a while. Also, silver American Eagles, although a very slow process like everything else. Let's see...I think that's all so far. 7070 Type set Mercury dimesLincolns Silver Eagles I also have a couple sets of Lincolns going, one for the first rounders, one for the backups...put those folders to use after I upgraded to Dansco. Plan on starting another Jefferson set. I may get a Dansco for them, and refill the folders I'm using now. |

Some of the "sets" I'm working on, or have more or less acquired:
- Australian predecimal
- Australian decimal from circulation
- Canadian
- English monarchs
- Roman emperors
- Late Roman / Byzantine mintmarks
- British Imperial sovereign mintmarks
- Chinese cash coins, reign-name and mintmark
- One From Each Country
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Sets that "need worked on" and are just laying around incomplete because it takes "money" to complete them ?..... Or " actively working on" ? ..... I'm "actively" working on a Jefferson nickel Set......Lincoln Wheat Set.....Washington Qtr. (kind of)......Franklins (kind of)....Presidential Dollars (ugh !)....(recently finished Lincoln Memorial Set and another Westward Series Nickel Set) I really want to do a Sacajewea Set....and a Native Dollar Set too..... And I'm also simotaneously doing/assisting with some of these Sets for my Nephew and my future Step-daughter. Oh...and I'm still missing a couple "P's" for a complete P & D St. Qtr. Set. And I've been pulling some "select" halves from "silver huntin" over the past few years, to "someday" attempt a Kennedy half Set. I need to do the cheapest form of collecting I can at the present time.....and that means "pulling from circulation to fill holes in folders" for now.....  But it's still fun and gives me satisfaction........ I have a lot of IHC's in 2x2's.....and I want to transfer them to an album soon too.....but I'm not actively trying to attain any more of them at this time for money reasons. There are a lot of albums of mine or just groups of "types" laying "dormant" in my collection, that I'm not willing to part with the cash to proceed anytime soon. To name a few... Morgans Silver trimes 3CN's Two Cent PiecesLarge Cents Rosies Mercs Walking Liberty halvesSLQ's ......all of these I have "started"......but have just fallen "dormant" as I said....

Just to many. Never ending.
Over 100 Whitman Classic Albums of all different varieties.
I normally put any coin that has no Album in a 2x2 and into a Whitman Red @ row box until I get an Album for them. So far 9 of those boxes full. Where there are to many, they go into plastic rolls also waiting for an Album.
At coin shows I ask dealers for any used Whitman Albums and if I get them free, I start collecting whatever it is for. One dealer usually gives me from 5 to 40 Albums every time I see him. Unfortunately many are Littleton, Dansco, Library of coins. Not a real lot of Whitmans and when there are they are usually not the Classic type. I give all the extras to a guy at the flea market to sell.

Too many to post but am actively looking to fill in nickel (shield/liberty/buffalo) and dime (l.s./barber) holes and start a British Type Set for my wife this year (possibly a 7070 for me). Ask me again in the summer and it may be something else...if I could only stay focused!
