<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 2138827, member: 46237&quot;]Things to consider are the size of the set and the value of the key dates. Make sure your collecting goals are realistic based on your budget, given the grades you want to collect. The most important thing though is to collect what you like. Filling holes for a series you don&#039;t really appreciate just for the sake of filling holes just takes money away from the series you enjoy the most.</p><p><br /></p><p>Short sets like 2 cent pieces can be very rewarding. My primary set is a short set of only 8 issues (capped bust quarters 1831-1838). If you want to get more advanced with a short set, you can always expand into die marriages or even die states.</p><p><br /></p><p>Long sets are also great, but many have expensive key dates. This is less of an issue&nbsp; with moderns. My favorite full set is Washington Quarters 1932-1998. There are only two keys and a handful of semi-keys. All are relatively affordable compared to many other series, and the coins are readily available in all grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>World coins are also a great option. I started out only collecting US, but eventually I got into colonial Mexican and classic Hungarian as well. Kind of an unusual mix but the coins really clicked with me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
