[QUOTE="Coinman1981, post: 971196, member: 20610"]Well, I completed my goal -- a true lifetime of mint sets. I couldn't help myself... I was born in 1981 but when I was at the coin dealer I saw a 1980 and thought two things: 1980 was the year I was... ahem... "started" and "Oh, now I'll have complete run of sets from the 1980s..." So, I picked up the '80. I have everything from 1980 up through my brand new 2010 which just arrived. I did not purchase the 1982 or 1983 souvenirs. I figured they really aren't mint sets, after all. Maybe when I get some more money to work with, I'll think differently about the '82 and '83. For now though, I'm satisfied. All the coins look pretty nice and all the packaging and inserts are intact and in nice shape. I look forward to adding onto this mint set collection for many (many, many I hope) decades to come :) I have a picture of my new collection below. Not much to see outside of a bunch of envelopes, but still, I thought I should post a photo anyway :thumb: [ATTACH]92604.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
