[QUOTE="Travlntiques, post: 1625315, member: 39129"]If your just talking standard US coins, no commems, bullion or gold, you won't have much trouble. The key dates will cost you some bucks, but I personally don't mind having a few holes in the albums. A few recommendations for anyone who wants to take on this type of collection: Buy bulk lots of Mint & proof sets for your moderns, ideally in complete runs. ie; 1968 through 2012 would be a great start. Buy complete sets of Wheat Cents, Jefferson Nickels, Mercs, Roosies & Franklins. The Kennedys, Ike's, SBA's, and all the modern dollars will pretty much be taken care of with your Proof & Mint sets. You can buy partial sets of Indians, Walkers, Buffs, & Peace Dollars for a pretty decent price. A lot of the Barbers can be had in bulk lots for melt. The SLQ's & Washingtons are two that I haven't done much with, but they're pretty easy. AND POOF, you're off to a real STRONG start..... Just fill in a few holes and forget the keys. LOL[/QUOTE]
