Which Set To Tackle Next?

I looked in the RedBook and saw a few varieties included. I guess if you didn't want to include those that would be a total of 9 but if you are a completist then you would want all 17. In G-4 condition only you are probably looking at $680. A set of Franklins, which there are 35 in the set, would be close to this same amount I think. So it really depends on what you like since they will cost you about the same. Good grade Half Dimes or nice shiny mint state big chunks of silver. Mmmmm.

$92 for a MS-63, not slabbed, on this website:

I don't know how much faith you can put into this one:

Here's a PCGS slabbed one for comparison. I have never been all that big on toned coins. They are kind of ugly IMO.
