I have one ASE set that I've been keeping up to date for a long time. Other than that I tend to collect individual coins, not sets.

I always check pocket change and actively fill and upgrade Whitman folders for all denominations, but I don't consider them "sets" because (1) I don't think I've ever completed one [although I'm getting close], and (2) they aren't high enough quality to be considered "sets" in my mind. It's purely for fun -- and partly compulsive.

I admire people who can put together nice sets. I don't happen to be one of them.

 

my a.d.d. wont let me collect any one set. i ill collect about 50% and then bam my mind is on another set

 

I have an ASE set, mercury dime set, franklin halfs and Morgan dollars. My mind keep switching after awhile.

 

nothings finished... nothings finished... ooo shiny...my shiny... my preciousss.

ASE proof, silver proof, (mint proof, mint unc,-1959-now) peace-sac dollars, kennedy halves, state quarters, jefferson nickels, u.s. commemoratives.. etc. etc. ad infinitum, ad poorhouse, ad nauseum.....

 

Full step Jeffersons (Boston Bob's)

Morgan dollars...MS common dates and VAMS in MS grades (36+ dates)
I look for vams that may not be in the top 100, but are/have real obvious variety die
interest. Not marked on the label/package.

3 Japanese coin proof set, and 1 uncirculated set.

Several few proof Soviet coins in their original sets in with the boxes and casing + certificates. I have the Soviet 1980 Proof silver set. I have put a few images in the omnicoin link... not all of them are there yet though.

I usually get put off with sets because often the prices go way too high or ridicious... but likewise if I could assemble one, it could take that much money too sadly.

 

I have many sets in the working but I only work on about 2 a year really good...the rest are added to if I buy a lot or such that would fit in...then when I decided to complete that set I go harder to find the missing ones.

This year I've completed my Cent collection from 1909-date and my Washington Quarter set from 1932-date.

Hopefuly next year I want to work on WL Halves and Franklin halves in MS64 or better....manybe another one or two but right now that is what I hope to do.

The concept of "set" completely escapes my easily-distracted conscuisness. The only set I will ever complete will be Everything, and that's unlikely.

 

I have one set -

coins that I have purchased and not sold.

 

I'm working on DCAM proof Ike dollars and Canada silver dollars, and I also buy silver bullion and junk silver to hoard....

 

Nothing finished and hopefully never will be

I the only "set" I have if you want to count it is p + d state quarters.

 

I do have a set of Franklin halves, but I tend to collect whatever catches my interest at the moment (A.D.D.?), mostly U.S. coins or currency.
Oops, forgot silver Roosevelt dimes and silver Kennedy halves.

 

Roosevelt dimes, Kennedy halves, and a Type set, all works in progress.

 

Do you mean [WLH and Franklin] both in MS64+ OR do you mean [Franklins in MS64+] and [a set of WLH in circulated grade]?

The latter is my guess, because those early WLH's in MS64+ are exceptionally costly!! If it is the former that is an aggressive goal!! I'd love a "nice" set of walkers like that! My set is completed but the expensive coins are all in VG.

 

Well at the moment..3 sets..whoops 6 sets... AGE 1986-present all denominations prf and uncirc, American Platinum Eagles 1/10th oz prf and uncirc, Modern Gold Commems, Wash Qtrs MS 64+ , MS Frankies (just revived this one) ASE proof and Uncirc (Finished except for the 1995W)

Speedy...what grade is your 32-D Wash Qtr?? I need that one for sure but very particular!

 

Your right....Franklins in MS64 or better and WL in circulated grades....maybe some of the later dates in UNC but I'm not going to say for sure.
I have seen a few MS WL and man are they neat....but high for sure!

I think its VG.....my 32-S is a little better F....but they will be going to a grading Co. for grading soon....most of the time I wouldn't send them in but in case I ever have to sell them I thought it would be better.

Let's see...several sets are in progress around here now that you force me to think about it

Morgan date set in MS64 or better...missing 5, the toughies

A Dansco 7070 Type Set...45 of 77 holes completed, but my favorite dealer just sent me the empty gold page so I guess that ups the work for me...AND the $$ requirements

I'm making a slow start on a Walker short set...I've always loved these and can see it progressing to more than just the short set.

A 1997 bullion collection from anywhere & everyhwere for Joe's birthyear...this collection was initially only silver but that has expanded to include gold pieces as well.

Those are the 'sets' that I'm working on...there are other things that I pick up here & there simply because I like them but they do not fill any 'holes' in any particular collection.

Thanks to my Grandfather I have a good start to many sets. I am trying to finish as much of his morgan set as I can. I am down to mostly key dates left to get. I also am working on Peace dollars, franklins and walking halves.
I have a complete set of wheat cents, jefferson nickles, silver Washington quarters, almost complete standing liberty quarters, and all but a couple Mercury dimes. most of my coins are in circulated condition, but I been trying to get au or ms Morgans to fill holes.
I was wanting to get started on some barber quarters or halves, until I started pricing them. Talk about sticker shock, wow.
