[QUOTE="gboulton, post: 1057751, member: 27043"]Today I completed what feels, to me, like my first "real set". I've put together "sets" before...but it was usually some "subset" of a larger run...like, a state quarter "set", of course...or a "set" of clad Roosevelt dimes, or whatever. But this one feels "complete". With the arrival of a particular 1964 Proof set, I've now "finished" a set of Kennedy halves. The set is in the Dansco 8166 album every hole filled. The album includes all business strike and proof (clad and silver) issues, the 1979 Type I and II (Filled and Clear S) Proofs, the SMS coins of the 60's, and both the proof and SMS silver clad (40%) strikes of the bicentennial issue. Then, in a generic Dansco half dollar album is also the 81 Type II proof, an UNC 74-D DDO, and as of today, an Accented Hair 1964 Proof. Finally, still in its original case, is the 1998S Matte proof as well. In total : 158 coins 65 Proof strikes 25 struck in 90% Silver 14 in 40% Silver 5 "Major" varieties Hopefully, next day or so I'll have the chance to pull the camera out, and photograph the set and post a few pictures. But...in the mean time...I just had to share. :b8nce:[/QUOTE]
