[QUOTE="quarter-back, post: 1899791, member: 47022"]If want the best of both worlds, try collecting series that TOTAL just a few coins. Flying Eagle Cents - 2 coins (three with the two 1858s, four if you include the 1856 pattern) Two cent pieces business strikes (1864-1873) SBAs (4 years - 18 coins including the Type II's and wide rim) Ikes (71 to 78 -I think its only 32 coins even with the bicentennial thick and thin letter varieties) Alternatively, try one year but all of the varities. 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars (7 coins - 64P - two reverse dies, 64 Proof 3 obv/rev combinations, 64D two different reverses) Finally, you might try all of the Franklin Type I/Type II pairings (7 coins - 56 Proof, 58, 59, plus the 59 Type I/TypeII Doubled die). Quite doable, but high grade FBL's may make it more challenging.[/QUOTE]
