[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 2420558, member: 13650"]I guess to add to this argument, and it may be a bit off topic, but don't just start a set because it seems like the thing to do. Like that's supposedly what coin collectors are supposed to do... Don't start a set unless you absolutely love the series and have no intention of ever selling. Even if you do all the hard leg work of completing it, picking through thousands of coins to make an awesome uncirculated set, it doesn't matter. It will likely be so expensive that very few people can afford it. And then if somebody in that small group decides they're willing to buy it off you they expect a "deal" for buying the whole set.
