[QUOTE="RobertAPearce, post: 1375293, member: 35828"]I'm having second thoughts after looking in to the difference between Proof Sets and Mint Sets. Now, I'm leaning toward looking for Mint Sets rather than Proof Sets. Jim M! Thank you for pointing that out. And, another "Thank you" to green18, for pointing out that is a lot of jing to lay down all at once. I've been chomping at the bit to start working harder on my collection since I joined this board just a couple of weeks ago. Heck, I've been collecting for 50 or so years, but mostly I've relied on just searching my change when I get home from the store. I've never gone looking for any specific coins. I started doing inventory on what I've collected over these 50 years, and I realize I don't have much in the Mint State quality of coins. One of my biggest search items over the years has been 1976 Quarters. I think I have close to 400 of those, but there are a lot of years, probably 1980 to 2000 or so, that I don't even have 1 coin for. Mostly what I put aside for my collection are "older" coins. Thanks to all who have answered so far. Robert[/QUOTE]
