<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 441315, member: 15062&quot;]No matter which way you go, you&#039;re going to wind up with quite a few duplicates and extras.&nbsp; I tried focusing on Lincoln Cents and wound up with 3 complete sets (less the 09SVDB) and 3 more partial sets just to put the extras somewhere.&nbsp; I saw assembling those sets more as a challenge than actual collecting - of course those might be the same thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>To some extent, collecting a full series - Lincolns, Morgans, or what have you - is hard to do.&nbsp; You might end up with a 95% complete collection with the remainder just out of reach, valuewise.&nbsp; It&#039;s a little discouraging to look at those empty holes, knowing you&#039;ll likely never fill them.&nbsp; And even if you do complete the set, you have a full book of 10-20, or whatever, coins that all look alike.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking lately that a type collection is the way to go.&nbsp; It&#039;s a lot easier to get a type coin, e.g., a high grade common date, than a low grade ultra rare coin to fill out a set.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are few coin series that you can&#039;t get a high grade single coin for a reasonable price.</p><p><br /></p><p>In the end, it depends on what excites you - full sets of one or two series, or one each of just about everything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
