[QUOTE="Leadfoot, post: 772715, member: 2972"]I think you should contemplate a few things before undertaking such a collection... Do you have the means to complete it in the grade you want? Even a date set will be a lot of money. Consider this carefully. Can you even find coins in the grade you want? For instance, your price range may be XF for a certain date, but there are quite a few dates in the gold dollar series that finding a problem-free XF will be very difficult Will the series hold your interest over the long haul? It's important that a series keeps your interest over the long haul. For some of the less collected series, this can be difficult as a lack of others with similar interest and available information on a series often discourages collectors. The thought being... when I've failed in collecting sets it's been because of one of the above three reasons....Mike[/QUOTE]
