[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 3708493, member: 105098"]Depends on your personality. I have a lifetime to complete the sets, I'm not in a hurry really. Others might want to focus on one design, complete it, and then move on to another, ect. I tend toward Key dates and semi Key dates first, since they will be more expensive and the hardest part of completing sets, and pretty much roll hunt for everything else as a starter. Even if I was finished and had every example, I'd switch out with better quality as I come across them. Some people just want to be finished and have a whole set, I don't really care if I ever finish a set, and so far I've only got clad Washington quarters finished and State quarters and I am current on parks, and I'm still coming across better examples to upgrade to along the way, all of my sets are at some level of completion, but not complete. I would say if you get overwhelmed on some of the larger sets, work them in sections instead like with cents do Wheats, memorials, shields, instead of all at once, start with shields, then memorials, then wheats and go from easy to hard if you like, or go the opposite way. or just collect a part of it. Like in nickels, the war nickels, or the newer Jefferson designs first, or silver roosevelt dimes, silver quarters, then clad, then state ect. Do it in steps instead of trying to take it all on.[/QUOTE]
