<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1917915, member: 5233"]I think Franklin Halves are a great set. When you don't include the proof coins...the set is quite affordable even in MS. They are all 90% silver, so that's always good. Yes the design is a little "ugly" but for some reason I have always personally liked it. I think it is a great set, especially for someone who is young. </p><p><br /></p><p>Another awesome set for someone on a budget is a Eisenhower Set. I love this set for several reasons. First, it is our last circulating large dollar coin. The set also has a very interesting story because it is the only large clad dollar we ever minted and with that came a ton of production issues. The set (with proofs) includes also includes business strike clads, lad proofs, business strike 40% silver coins and 40% silver proofs...so a lot of variety. It also has a bunch of varieties if you really want to get into that. I have been considering doing a Ike set with a "custom" Dansco album (buy a Dansco album and put in blank labeled pages so I can add a few varieties).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
