<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 137296, member: 5233&quot;]Like I said before, I feel a date set of Mercury Dimes is a good place to start.&nbsp; I know that the 1921 is going to be a pain but a little challenge in putting together a set is a good thing-at least it was for me.&nbsp; It gave me a feeling of accomplishment.</p><p><br /></p><p>The place I started, which is probably the most common, was Lincoln Cents.&nbsp; I went out and bought the 3 Whitman book set for Lincoln Cents.&nbsp; I knew at the time (being 12 or 13) that there were a few in the set that would be hard to get on my budget (mainly 1909-S VDB, 1909-S, 1914-D, and 1931-S) even though I wasn&#039;t going for errors.&nbsp; But, I started pulling coins out of circulation and visiting the bin of wheat back cents at a local coin shop (he sold random lincoln wheat backs for $0.05 each) and I had a blast.&nbsp; As time went on I eventually did fill the set up and I even saved up for some of the key coins.&nbsp; As of right now (and I&#039;m 21 now) I am only missing the 1909-S VDB.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is, the set doesn&#039;t have to be completely &quot;easy&quot; to be a good starter.&nbsp; I think the best way to start is with a set that most is easy but there are a couple challenges.&nbsp; Lincoln cents are the best in my opinion, because there are many that can be found in circulation, almost all of the wheat backs are very cheap to buy in circulated grades, there are some interesting coins in the set that give it &quot;variety&quot; (VDB coins, steel cents, ect...) and a couple challenging coins to &quot;shoot&quot; for.&nbsp; So, to me, that is the best kind of starter set.</p><p><br /></p><p>For the same reason, I feel that a date set of Mercury Dimes would work fine too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
