How many collections are you working on at the same time?

No more sets for me. Just type coins.

OOOHH, I LIKE SECRETS... When you acquire the last 2 are you going to let us in on it???

 

Ya’ll will be the first to know. I promise.

 

None

 

Hey there’s like 14 different half’s for the year 2014. That’s got to be a tuff set to complete anyways. Does anyone have a complete Kennedy set?

 

I've got one just like it. I may never complete it because I refuse to pay more than $0.05 for each one but I'll keep trying!

 

I don't like sets that can be completed. You always get frustrated over one or two items that you just can't afford or find. Sooo, I collect "sets" that have no end.
These include: Spinner Tokens, Casino tokens (metal), Elongated Cents, Error Star Notes, and Playing Card Jokers, to name a few. Not coins or medals, but what I collect.

 

National Park and Statehood quarters, wheat pennies, Jefferson, Buffalo and V nickels, Roosevelt and Barber dimes, half dollars - mostly Eisenhower with a few others, silver bars and some other unique items that have crossed my path!

 

I think it would be easier to tell what I am NOT currently working on completing as they are all done:
Peace Dollar
Ike Dollar
SBA Dollar
Walking Liberty Half
Franklin Half
Washington Quarter 1932-1998
Roosevelt Dime silver
Jefferson Nickel 1938-2003
Westward Journey Nickel
Lincoln Memorial
Presidential Dollar
State Quarter
National Park Quarter

Other sets completed but are not current due to waiting on 2021 issues...
JFK Half
Roosevelt Clad
Jefferson Nickel 2006
Lincoln Shield
Sacagawea Dollar
American Silver Eagles.

US sets pretty much completed but missing key dates...
Morgan Dollar
Barber Half
Barber Dime
Shield Nickel
3 Cent Nickel
2 Cent
Lincoln Wheat Cent
Indian Head Cent

To me completed is PD mintmarks business strikes no proofs.

 

Norway 2 øre, 5 øre and 2 kroner. Had to say no to 1, 10 and 25 øre because of their small size...I hate to be constantly looking for a loupe.

Pretty much done with Norway commemoratives.

Also working on a high-quality war nickel set.

*Whitman Folders for Lincoln Cents, Canadian Cents, Jefferson Nickels (Need to make a trip to the bank to get a few more boxes of Lincolns and Jeffersons.)

Then I'm gonna look up the history that occurred during each year in which I have a coin.

*I bought a ten-pound bag of bulk foreign coins. I'm going to go through them slowly, and put each one in an old-fashioned 2X2 coin envelope. Then I'll read up on the coin and country from Carson's classic, "Coins of the World." (Got this for 5 bucks at a library sale.) Then I write up a brief note in a coin journal I keep. Each day I try to make at least one journal entry, be it about a coin, an article in a coin magazine, some of my practice coin grading done that day, etc.

I collect books about coins.

Am reading Dave B.'s "Encyclopedia of Colonial Coins." One of the mints was around me and I hope to learn some history about this from the local town archives.l

Also reading Prucha, "Indian and Peace Medals in American History" and John Adams "The Indian Peace Medals of George III or His Majesty's Sometime Allies." (Canada)

 

I am waiting for the commerative series of all the Astronuts on the Quarter Obverse, and there space ships on the reverse.

 

One, trying to finish my Morgan collection

 

Good luck with it! Are you going for all the different varieties and/or specific grades or are you just assembling one based on date?

 

Trying to complete a Walker collection which has been challenging.

 

I bet! Good luck with it!

 

Working on Dates with all mint marks in MS and AU been working on this for 30yrs

 

Since joining CT the list gets longer and longer lol.
I fear it will include all shiny objects by years end

 

Lincoln Cents and Susan B Anthony's.

 

I only have one collection, mine. At the moment, Canadian uncirculated coin sets. I am complete with what I collect in United States coins, that is uncirculated and proof coins 1938-2021. Of course there is always next year.

I do like the post of the Jefferson Nickels. I remember building a set back in the day from circulation and was able to nearly complete the book starting with 1938. It must be much harder now, nearly five decades later.
