[QUOTE="masterswimmer, post: 8607177, member: 102022"]I'd go nuts if I had that many incomplete folders. Like [USER=92655]@Randy Abercrombie[/USER] I'm quite OCD also. That being said, I decided to start a nice small population collection of FEC's. I figured I can complete the series without obsessing over the various varieties and have the series done in no time. I thought I'd be able to skip the 1856 since that year was 'just' a pattern coin. I'd only need to compile the 1857 and 1858. Sounds simple as that, doesn't it? Ohhhhh nay nay! The psychological condition OCD is referred to as [U]Obsessive[/U] Compulsive Disorder for a very good reason. Trying to complete this very limited population series in MS-64 turned into a very trying and nerve wracking quest. Not to mention daunting in respect to the finances of it. I'll just leave it at that since I feel my blood pressure creeping up as I type. In any case, [USER=74863]@Collecting Nut[/USER] I wish you the best in your quest to complete those folders. I know if there's anyone here that can do it, it's you.[/QUOTE]
