<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 8147767, member: 105571&quot;]Lincoln Cents-Completed for dates/MMs</p><p>Indian Cents-by date/MMs, no varieties.&nbsp; Almost complete in mostly MS and a few proofs, missing 1877 and a couple of the 1871 and 72 Shallow/Bold N varieties.</p><p>Buffalo Nickels-circulated, missing five date/MMs.</p><p>Mercury Dimes-circulated, complete except for 1916-D.</p><p>Standing Liberty Quarters-circulated, missing four date/MMs. Haven&#039;t decided if I&#039;ll go for the 1916.</p><p>Walking Liberty Half Proofs-complete, all seven coins, average grade PF-65.14.</p><p>Braided Hair Half Cents, business strikes, 1849-1857-complete in AU grades</p><p>Capped Bust Half Dimes, 1829-1837, by date and die varieties-actively collecting aggressively, 30 coins out of 91 die marriages and 31 remarriages.</p><p>U.S. Type Set, including colonials and pre-Federal coinage and the affordable pre-1933 gold but without all the modern, non-circulating commemorative coinage (for example, the ATB quarter is represented but none of the commem dollars).&nbsp; Basically if it circulated in what is now the continental US, I&#039;m in, like Spanish cobs would be in but Canadian coinage would not.&nbsp; Set contains business strikes and proofs but only if the BS date of a proof actually circulated-will never be complete but around 137 coins in this collection so far. Five coins in the set are candidates for upgrades.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m pretty disciplined about keeping to my existing sets and not buying one-offs (Ooh-Shiny!).&nbsp; But I will admit to being currently tempted by some classic ancients like the Athenian owls and some others.&nbsp; Successfully resisted temptation so far because I am too ignorant of the field to be spending money in it, yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
