If you ignore commemoratives and gold, this totals 1,401 coins and can be done without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars. Of course, you have to accept lower grade key coins (<i>e.g</i>., 1909-SVDB cent, 1901-S and 1916 quarters). I&#039;d also advise (unless you have a <i>really</i> big wallet/purse) you avoid having the entire set slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess is that many collectors have a good start on gathering the needed coins. The 1964-2000 mint and proof sets will give you 2/5ths of what you need to complete the set. It took me about 4 years to put one together.</p><p>Something to think about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
