[QUOTE="Rono, post: 191519, member: 6492"]Howdy, I've got proof sets back to 1960 and mint sets off and on back to the 90's. I had the earlier mint sets but used them for albumn for each of the coin series. I'd like to work back thru the 50's with the proof sets, but for my series sets, I'm working back thru all of them in either proof or BU to exhaustion (or my body or my money). For example, I have cents back to 1930, nickels to 1936, dimes to 1935, quarters to 1940 (yeah, this is a toughie to finish the washingtons), halves - all the kennedies except for the matte proof and all the franklins and just starting on the walkers. dollars - sac's and susies and ikes are complete. Lately, I've been working on my buffalos and indian heads - but they're a long way off and will never be BU. You can do some of them in BU, but without a lot of funds, and even with, many of them are OB. The IHC would be easier and cheaper than the buffs as some of the early dated buffs in mint state are very expensive. oh well, anyone want to give me $100K or so so I can finish upgrading my collection? :smile teehehe rono[/QUOTE]
