<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 135300, member: 4626&quot;]Well I&#039;ve also liked to get the easy stuff out of the way first and then move on to the harder stuff, lol... not just with coins but with everything else in life.&nbsp; That&#039;s just my personal preference.&nbsp; I have no wife to answer to, lol, so that is not an issue.&nbsp; My parents are about the only people I see face to face that know I buy coins often, and if I don&#039;t want them to know how much I&#039;m spending I just don&#039;t tell them.&nbsp; Plus, the coins I tend to collect by series rather than type are usually the more common ones anyway, where even the keys are not particualarly rare or hard to find.&nbsp; Lincoln cents being the exception, lol... but look at the &quot;keys&quot; of these series:</p><p><br /></p><p>Kennedy half dollar... 1970-D, 2.5 million</p><p>Jefferson nickel... 1950-D, 2.6 million</p><p><br /></p><p>Roosevelt dime... well if you don&#039;t count the 1996-W, closest thing it has to a key is the 1955... the rarest Roosevelt dime issued for general circualtion... 12 million minted!</p><p><br /></p><p>When it gets to series with rare keys I&#039;m not likely to be trying to finish the series anyway and instead collect by type.&nbsp; I generally keep series collecting limited to the current issue and the series that preceded the current issue.&nbsp; I&#039;d rather have say, one of every type of US dime ever minted, than a complete series of Mercury dimes.&nbsp; I work on series when I can&#039;t find anything else in my price range to buy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
