<p>[QUOTE="ewomack, post: 2828099, member: 15588"]I don't really collect sets of any kind, so I'm probably not within your post's target demographic. I mainly buy coins that appeal to me upon sight, no matter the country, no matter the vintage or metal. For US coins, I'm more of a type collector, so I don't really delve into varieties or errors. Mot recently I've returned to bullion coins, which are fun to buy but then they go straight into the vault. I at least take photos before I say goodbye.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is one big exception to this. Since I was a mere tyke, I've stored away cents from every year from circulation. A now crusty Whitman album that starts with 1959 holds them all (though I started compiling them in the 1980s). For 2009, I didn't consider the year "complete" until I had examples of all 4 designs, but I didn't have to get Ps and Ds of each, just one of each. I'm not sure why I keep it up, but the little single-digit-aged me would probably be extremely happy to see that a decades older me still had the same album with the same cents in the same holes. At the very least, it's a very cheap hobby.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
