<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 2828910, member: 36864&quot;]I collect in two ways.&nbsp; First I am a classic proof collector and do my best to do a full date set of the series, and when possible, I also try to get an example or two of the pattern pieces.&nbsp; My early proof sets average about PR-64.&nbsp; Since, I am at about my budgetary limit for collecting early proofs for a while, I am also a Dansco (including proofs) collector.&nbsp; Meaning that I consider the key varieties that Dansco has openings for part of the collection; really, I just hate having empty holes in an otherwise complete collection.&nbsp; I try to build matching sets as much as possible as far as condition and color is concerned. i recently completed a stunning collection of toned Jefferson nickles in MS-65 (my grades) or higher.&nbsp; I started with a partial collection that I bought form ouur friend Greg (Gbroke).&nbsp; That became an interesting and challenging set to complete.&nbsp; Not that the coins are overly expensive, but just finding toned coins that matched the set well became pretty difficult as the coins became more modern. To me this was much more interesting than the set would have been had I just bought up a bunch of white coins and plugged the holes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
