<p>[QUOTE="bsowa1029, post: 2138961, member: 34652"]I personally like the Franklin halves. It's a shorter series, only 35 different dates and mint marks if you want to build the whole set. They're pretty inexpensive too. All dates can be purchased for silver spot prices in circulated condition and almost all dates can be purchased BU for $20 or less. There are a few "key dates" that will cost a bit more, the 49D or 49S for example. I put key dates in quotes because there really aren't any key dates in the series, mintage-wise. Some dates just seem to cost more for some reason.</p><p>Mercury dimes are another good set if you're on a budget. Many of the coins are very affordable in BU and many more are affordable in circulated grades as well. There are a few keys, actual key dates, that are expensive in any grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>For some really modern stuff I like the America the Beautiful quarters a lot.
