[QUOTE="stldanceartist, post: 2995139, member: 13307"]Since no one has recommended it, I'll go with one of my personal favorites, Jefferson Nickels. Putting together a circulated set is pretty easy and inexpensive. You can get most from the bank, the keys are inexpensive, and the proofs aren't pricey either. There are tons of varieties to include as well. Putting together a really quality set...high grade with eye appeal...and then Full Step strikes...now that's where it gets tough. Sometimes almost impossible (show me a 54-s you own with more than two steps, I dare you.) Plus, you have a [I]little bit[/I] of silver in the war nickel years (only 11 coins, so you could get back into silver US coins with that short set) plus the two matte proof issues of 1994 and 1997 (both of which have really low mintages.) The good news? You can still cherrypick super nice examples of these raw. Since not many people have added photos so far, I'll give my Jeffs the edge by sharing a few from my set: [ATTACH=full]739869[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]739861[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]739870[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]739864[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]739866[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]739865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]739867[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]739868[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
