<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 950376, member: 3726&quot;]I agree with this - even if they are modern current coinage.&nbsp; I limit myself to pocket change and I still have a few dates/mm that I need.&nbsp; The searching is fun - you and your son should start looking for varieties also.&nbsp; Like 2009 lincoln extra fingers, etc - finding something like that is fun also.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now as cappedbustdimes mention - he is doing matched sets in a grade.&nbsp; That can also be challenging because you might find XF dimes, but they might not fit the set.&nbsp; Now the sets I am working on:</p><p><br /></p><p>(1) Dansco album large cents - no specific grade.&nbsp; Some holes may not get filled, but looking for some of the varieties is tough.&nbsp; I think I have maybe 3 easy ones left and the other 7 or so might not be filled(or graded coins purchased).</p><p>(2) Indian Head Cents Graded set - will probably be AU for Flying Eagles, and then a variety of grades.&nbsp; Most of the set is MS.</p><p>(3) Graded set of Matron Head Cents - these will be VF to AU.&nbsp; Like cappedbustdimes mentioned I am looking for any coin that will fill a whole that I like to add to the set.&nbsp; This is a red book variety set - so a few varieties will probably not get added.</p><p>(4) Bust half album - lots of work here. Not sure how many I need. Some will get filled with coins and then later updated.</p><p><br /></p><p>I spend a lot of time searching for coins to fill slots in these collections.&nbsp; The search is fun, the difference is on some of the coins - I can find them, but they are over priced in my opinion.&nbsp; So I keep looking.&nbsp; It is all about fun to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
