[QUOTE="KarlB, post: 3248746, member: 75549"]I fully understand the frustration of completing a collection, and not being able to because of the expense. I had stopped collecting back in the early 2000's because of that exact reason. 2012 or so, we were friends with an elderly lady, and she collected the State Quarters. So, working with her, and the idea of putting together something out of circulation got me going again. Something you might like to put together is a collection of beat up/cull/extremely worn coins--we have start and stop dates. As I come across an 'ugly' clad quarter, I can down grade; really fun because it is all so obtainable out of circulation. I can see two collections (or more) put together by category: worn, PM damage, corrosion from a fountain, etc... Of course this doesn't have to be limited to the first quarter clads, there is another stop and start date set still in circulation, the State Quarters, and they are getting older and older by the second; and we are almost at the end of the current America the Beautiful Quarter collection. A complete collection out of circulation, something our ancestors could do--WHO WOULD HAVE THUNK... Have fun, Robert.[/QUOTE]
