In the past, though I do not have them I almost completed 1909-2018 Lincoln Cents (No S VDB) I completed State and ATB Quarters Jefferson Nickels Pretty novice compared to some people on here What are your landmark set completions?
I own a number of sets... Ikes, Peace Dollars, Walking halves, Wheat cents and maybe ten state quarter sets of various grades. But completing the Mercury dime set I started in the 1980's and finished not all that long ago is my landmark set. I was a poor man then and plugging holes meant doing without back in those days.
1909 to 2018 no vdb and no 1914D no proof Jefferson 1938 to 2018 proof from 2004 to 2018 ATB quarters All States quarters All plus U.S. territories Sacagawea dollar all with proofs and will start with American Innovation
I've completed sets w/o errors and varieties for Indian Head cents, Lincoln cents, Jefferson nickels, Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, State and ATB quarters, Franklin and Kennedy half dollars, Peace dollars, Ike dollars, Sacagawea dollars, SBA dollars, Presidential dollars, and ASE bullion dollars.
All 20th Century US coins issued for circulation in Indian Head Cents, all Nickels, all Dimes, all Halves and all Dollars. All modern commemoratives. All ASE. Quarters and Lincoln Pennies are not done yet.
I'm working on completing a set of 1946-'64 Roosevelt dimes. '46-'59 are in AU condition, and the early 60s ones might be MS. I already completed a 1909-1958 Lincoln cent collection (no '31 S, '09 S VDB or other low mintage/key dates). Also completed state quarters and have ATB too- those are easy to find. I guess I'll finally complete ATB when the mint finishes issuing them in a couple of years.
I struggle with this concept. I plan on keeping all the sets that I define and complete (to my satisfaction). Were you "forced" to sell or is the enjoyment in the chase only (kind of like a cat that plays around with it's prey before finally killing it and leaving it in your slipper as a gift, no intention on eating it)? lol
Complete set currently in my possession: date set of slabbed buffalo nickels - MS63 and higher Set currently working on: short set of WLH
Year set of halves from 1794 through the present with the exception of 1796, 1797--won't be getting them--and I don't have 2019 yet
Roosevelt silver and clad through maybe 1970, while I was still a YN -- that was my first completed set. More recently: Washington silver quarters (circulated), Barber halves (more circulated than that) Mercury dimes, minus 1916-D and overdates -- probably as "complete" as that one's going to get, although I do keep my eyes open to cherrypick overdates. Walking Liberty halves, maybe -- I may still have some holes, but I've got the keys nailed down, in low grade. Sort of working on SLQs in the background, again mainly by cherrypicking.
Ikes, SBAs, franklin halves, peace dollars, a couple short of a date set of capped bust halves, unc silver eagles. Working on a set of walking liberty halves now, also working on large cents and seated halves and quarters in the background.
I have a complete set of modern commemorative half dollars in PCGS PR69DCAM. Now I am working on Sacagawea dollars in PR70DCAM, Still trying t decide if I want to do the modern Commemorative Dollar series, tons of coins there and a lot more expensive.
I have a complete set of Lincolns from 1909-2008 (cause that's when the cent ended in my eyes) with all memorial proofs. Includes the 1909 S VDB, 1909 S, 1914 D, 1922 No D, and 1931 S. I completed this set at age 21. Currently working on Matte Proof Lincolns and the rest of the wheat proofs. Also a date set of off center wheat cents. I keep track of the off centers in my signature now.
Went back to school for an advanced degree, needed the money. Sold off a portion of my collection as well. Have spent the last 10 years or so slowly trying to reacquire the types of coins I sold.
Indian cents, V nickels and Franklin halves. I need one more Ike dollar but just sort of lost interest. Need to get that one just to put it to rest.
The 73 s silver proof. My 71 should be upgraded as well, it is the first one I put in and it is pretty crappy.
