<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman1981, post: 961628, member: 20610&quot;]Well, I&#039;ve decided I need to pare down my coin collecting budget, but I still need an interesting goal to attain... So I think I&#039;m going to try my hand at collecting every mint set made since the year I was born... 1981. I already have an &#039;81. Anybody else out there trying this?</p><p><br /></p><p>It should be an interesting collection... I like the fact that 1981 was the last year of the SBA and the 1970s packaging style, so it would even have some great visual appeal to see a collection of mint sets ranging from the old-style white envelopes and lighter-colored red and blue color-coding strips up to the current multi-colored, graphical packaging (which, I agree, is WAAAaaaay overpriced. $32 for a mint set?)</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought my first mint set in 1993 and I had a 1995 -- which I sold not long after. Though they&#039;re cheap sets anyway, I do wish I hadn&#039;t let go of them. The 1993 was my first mint product I ever ordered and I bought the 1995 AT the Philadelphia mint! Oh well, at least I&#039;ll be able to &quot;get them back&quot; in this mint set collection!</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for letting me bend your ear :smile[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
