[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1181963, member: 307"]I would recommend that you collect what you really itch to collect. If 2¢ pieces float your boat, then collect them. It sounds like you're settling on Franklins because you think it's more "attainable" as a complete set. And it might or might not be, the problem is does it make you as happy? You say that the 2¢ pieces are expensive and that you'll probably never complete a set. I say you never know. A lifetime pursuit can be extremely rewarding but they don't happen in a few years, they happen over many years. Some of the pieces that you may not feel "attainable" at this point may become more so when you're older. Give that idea some thought. If you really want to complete something sooner, I would suggest Peace Dollars. It's a short set. There are no major rarities and you can collect them in a range of grades. MS-63s are readily available. Franklins are really really hard to grade and are not a series for the novice if you're going to try to buy raw uncirculated coins. Just my 2¢[/QUOTE]
