Message:: [QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2409176, member: 19250"]Many of us old timers grew up collecting sets, if you were my age somewhere  in the 1960 you  started with several Whitman  folders Lincoln  cent, Buffalo  nickel,Jefferson  nickel, Mercury  dime and Roosevelt  dime.Now you also have to understand  as people  your age don't  that you could fill all of the above folders from your pocket change.Yes it's  true   .....well except my damn 50 D nickel!As a paper boy I collected  monthly from my customers  I was paid in all silver coins, buffalo nickels, silver certificates  So it was possible  ....not probable  that one could put a set together. I do agree  as a variety  collector  I for the most part given up on sets. As you  are correct  key coins can and are what stops quite a few from completing  a set of coins.  But I try and be understanding of other's who collect what they like........after all it's their passion  not yours.[/QUOTE]
