<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Burgess, post: 5140200, member: 105098&quot;]I&#039;ve worked on sets from circulation finds only for the last I guess 35 years off and on. I only collect&nbsp; P+D and Circulation S mint like this though.</p><p>Washington Quarters 1965-1998</p><p>State Quarters 1999-2009 </p><p>State Parks 2010-date Missing the D&#039;s for this year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Complete lincoln cents 1959-Date, still working on the older stuff. </p><p>Complete Roosevelt Dimes 1965-Date, still working on the silver but I did have it complete before.</p><p><br /></p><p>I pretty much just focus on coin roll hunting and circulation finds all this time, haven&#039;t paid more than face, except for the stuff I bought direct from the mint which I keep in the mint sets. </p><p><br /></p><p>Everything is a work in progress really, Id&#039;s say I go from present back to 1909 really, I have some indian head cents from circulation finds that are older, but they are few and far between, I have a couple morgans, peace dollars from lucky bank dollar coin pickups from tellers over the years also, but not really working on those, Even what I consider &quot;complete&quot; I upgrade if I come across something better so nothing is ever really complete.&nbsp; those older sets will be if I ever reach an example of everything from 1909- present, even if I just get down to missing the key + semi key dates, maybe I buy examples at that point to finish them out. It&#039;s a long shot to find those in circulation. but I&#039;m not going to worry about that until that&#039;s all that&#039;s left to finish the sets.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as silver in 2011 when it peaked near $50 I sold off everything of my circulation finds and my extras figuring I&#039;d just buy them back when prices dropped low enough again, but just never got around to it and started again from circulation finds instead which is much slower going than it was in the 1980s-1990s. Nothing special there back in 2011 or now though all common date stuff and circulated.</p><p><br /></p><p>honestly the goal has been see how far I can get to an example of everything from circulation from 1909 to present and everything at a cost of no more than face value spent. Maybe I&#039;m around 60%. </p><p>Just figuring out how many coins all these sets are total seems like a daunting task itself, and you&#039;d think by now I would have done the math but NOPE!&nbsp; LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
