<p>[QUOTE="dimeguy, post: 6790003, member: 19855"]Finishing a set does give me a great sense of accomplishment, so congrats on the Standing Liberty Quarters as I heard that is a difficult one to tackle. Whenever I finish a set, it is always a great sense of pride and then the, "Well, ok. Now what?" As medoraman stated, once a set is done I do not look over it again for some time. Part of the reason is that once I involve myself in the set, I become slightly obsessed. I like learning the history, the art, strike details, how to grade it appropriately, the artist, the varieties, I just become consumed. By the time the set is done, I'm usually read to move on. I will admit my first set was F-XF Mercury Dimes. I looked at the set not too long ago and thought, "You know, you could upgrade some of these now that you are an adult making grown up money," but that set was worked hard as a teenager and I'll keep as is. </p><p><br /></p><p>Currently, I like to have a copper set and a silver set to work on. Keeps me entertained if I get too bored in one metal vs the other. I am working on Lincoln Wheat Cents and just started Walking Liberty Halves. As for your options, I have never completed the type set but I have the Peace Dollars and they are beautiful in various grades and easily obtained and upgraded if desired. Whatever you choose, just have fun with it. It is a hobby after all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
