<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1372805, member: 25270&quot;]I am someone who tries to collect sets, and I can say that as the size of the set increases, the likelihood of me pursuing it decreases. I was trying to buy a proof coin of each modern U.S. coin, and for the most part you can find them for a dollar or less each on eBay. But then when I get to 1999 to 2009, all of a sudden I&#039;m facing the prospect of buying 56 additional quarters, instead of one per year. Then there&#039;s the six yearly national parks quarters. I was able to get from the late 60s to 1998 in under 50 coins, and I&#039;m looking at buying more than that for one decade. It&#039;s a turnoff. The sets I am focusing on now have a determined starting point and ideally a determined ending point. Ireland started making coins in 1928 and went on the euro in 2000, so I know exactly how many coins I need to complete the set. Greece produced a limited number of modern coins and went on the euro. New Zealand didn&#039;t start making coins until the 1930s. These are manageable. The last thing I want is an ever-expanding set that just gets more and more expensive and exclusive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
