"Finishing" a collection... Does it Ever Happen?

<p>[QUOTE="AuldFartte, post: 6787044, member: 1869"]I've had a somewhat different approach to completing collections. I have completed two U.S. Type Sets based on the Dansco 7070. I sold the first one and a few years later, started the second, but for this collection, I put a cutoff date of 1976 and sought coins that were slightly better grades than the first set. I finished it, sold it, and started a new one that I am currently working on. This time I put the cutoff date at 1964, and the beginning date at 1793. I am now looking for better grades where possible, and adding the earlier coinage is making it more difficult to find higher quality coins I can afford. This third set is something I may never finish but it's fun trying! </p><p><br /></p><p>I am working on date sets of half-cents and large cents, plus some ancients I like, plus an odd assortment of "whatever appeals to me", US or world coinage. So, like others have noted, I have several things in progress at once.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
