<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fogemort, post: 3710678, member: 107035&quot;]Wow, thanks for the responses!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ben, I&#039;m not sure that I can wipe the slate clean. The coins have way more nostalgic value than monetary value, but I definitely understand what you mean. </p><p><br /></p><p>Geekpryde, thanks for the warnings. I can see the temptation of &quot;quickly bootstrapping&quot; with a big buy, but I do believe that you get what you pay for, so you need to be careful.</p><p><br /></p><p>It does sound like I need to focus, though. As a kid, I tried to collect everything! An uncle gave me a few Mercury dimes, so I got the book and added the rest of the set to my want list! Haha. I dug out my want list last night. It had hundreds of dates from a bunch of series that would cost tens of thousands of dollars to complete. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I do think I&#039;m going to start with the Jeffersons. I need about 30 combinations of date and mint mark to have the full set, 1938-2019. A handful are expensive (i.e., &gt; $10), the rest are pretty cheap (~ $1). Should be fairly straight forward.</p><p><br /></p><p>After that, though, I have to do a little thinking. I was originally going to try to collect Lincoln cents, but I&#039;d like to consider other sets that, to me, are far more interesting. Maybe Flying Eagle and Indian Head cents. Maybe Seated Liberty coins, which I think are amazing, even if they are a bit expensive. Or maybe just focus on Nickels. I have a few Buffalo and Barber nickels. It would be cool to work on those sets. Or maybe that&#039;s too wide a scope.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
