[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1203254, member: 26729"]A complete set of Jeffersons is a fun, and relatively easy set. Remember if you think about a set that has silver coins, modern 1940ish to 1964 coins are largely tied to the value of silver at the moment you purchase the coin. So with silver so high right now, I am tending to focus on cents and nickels, as well as clad coins. Silver will come back down to a reasonable price one day... Just consider if you want to build a silver set regardless of price, or if you want bank for the buck. With silver so crazy right now, the copper, nickel, and clad coins are actually a buyer's market. Modern clad proof and uncirculated sets are dirt cheap right now. If you buy the sets from about 68 to present, you can build several sets at one time (cents, nickels, dimes, quarters, halves). Another tid-bit to think about is to never buy a 'problem' coin just because it is cheap. It's always better to pay a little more for a nice honest problem free example. If you buy a cleaned or damaged coin for a fraction of it's value, it will likely not increase in value anytime soon, and everytime you look at it, you will see the damage and not the coin.
