<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 172714, member: 3011&quot;]I&#039;ve never completed a set of anything, although I&#039;ve started several.&nbsp; It took awhile for me to realize that the &quot;normal&quot; methods of collecting by date/mintmark and by type just weren&#039;t for me.&nbsp; Now I just buy individual coins that I want to own when I can find them for prices I want to pay.&nbsp; I even purchased a &quot;short set&quot; of silver roosevelt dimes from 1946-64 earlier this year because of the price.&nbsp; I&#039;d also like to start a &quot;one coin coin collection,&quot; and obtain a number of examples of the exact same coin, but haven&#039;t settled on a coin yet.&nbsp; I don&#039;t ever expect to buy an empty album and fill all of the hole myself at anytime in my life.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess this is a long-winded way of saying that there is no wrong way to go about this, and just do what makes you happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a thought.&nbsp; If your dealer has a set of Franklins you like, buy it.&nbsp; Then look around and buy one or two more over time.&nbsp; Then reassemble the two or three sets into a highest, middle, and lowest grade coin set.&nbsp; Franklins are almost the perfect coin to do this in my opinion.&nbsp; Maybe I&#039;ll do it myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
