Let's keep it to coins/medals just for simplicitys sake, How many different albums/folders are you actively working on filling currently? I'm working on completing; a Silver Washington quarters set (1932-'64), Large cents, "V" nickels, Buffalo nickels, Half dollars (1916-present), IH cents, Canadian Silver Wildlife series(2011-present) And US Counter-stamped coins! Let's hear what all you're in the middle of!! EDIT: forgot, Silver Britannia's as well
I started out with Lincoln cents, moved to nickels, then decided to do all the rest of the circulating US coins. Then I got into world silver, so I started British half crowns and shillings. Then I got into ancients and everything went to hell in a hand basket Now I'm in a free-for-all, and trying to complete a little bit of each. Basically, my ADHD doesn't let me see anything through to the finish haha.
I have countless sets in folders. I gave up on the Kennedy hales in the early 2000's so I suppose that one is incomplete. It's driving me nuts to fill the last few holes in my Dansco two & three cent books...... Ohh... And the fact that I am trying to buy every seated coin in existence.... LOL
Oh good gosh, hard to name them. Ancients do not have any hard and fast "sets" for the most part, (which is why I love it), but I always have my eyes towards certain areas. Lets see, off the top of my head: 1. Irene coinage 2. Cleopatra VII 3. Constantine VII 4. Early Sassanid, especially Bahram I 5. Bahran II 6. Punic 7. Sogdian 8. Mamertine 9. Roman Egypt (especially harpocrates reverse and lighthouse) 10. Upgrading Anonymous bronze set for Class F, H, and J 11. Merovingian 12. Visigothic 13. Early parthian bronze 14. Antiochus I horse issue 15. Platinum proof eagles 16. Julian II 17. "art deco" tetrarchy era 18. Sophyte coinage These are a few I pursue, I am sure I am forgetting many others.
Australia pre-decimal type set USA type set (mostly 20th century) Coinage of ancient Tamil region Roman coins, in particular I completed the 5 good emperors, however I'm not interested in the 12 Caesars for 2 reasons: 1. cost 2. I just don't care for emperors like Tiberius, Claudius, Galba, Otho, and Vitellius just to complete a set.
I'm about 90% done with my LC collection, Everything else is less than 50% done... It'll be a while before those are complete but that's what makes it so fun...
I didn't say that. I said that I'm not working on any. I have only my Kennedy Dansco that I've yet to complete, but I am not working on it.

I collect Shiny coins! (also, non-shiny ones, including SLQs, pre-1964 Washingtons, and Barber quarters in albums and graded slabs), I'm considering a Peace Dollar collection and have started picking up some interesting early English coins - Elizabeth / Charles shilling, sixpence, type stuff, I'm not sure where that is going.
