<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coinhead63, post: 1348405, member: 28001&quot;]If you wish to start the most affordable set of U.S. coins with the intent to have a complete set, I suggest the Jefferson Nickel.&nbsp; All are obtainable in uncirculated MS65 or better on a modest budget.&nbsp; The Lincoln cent presents problems when you get to the 1909-S, 1909-S VDB, 1914-D, 1922 no D and 1931-S.&nbsp; These will cost up to thousands of USD each depending upon the grade.&nbsp; I have been collecting U. S. coins for nearly 40 years and haven&#039;t quite finished my Lincoln cent collection (lacking 1909-S VDB and 1914-D). Also, start with quality not quantity.&nbsp; When I started, I wanted to fill the holes as fast as I could.&nbsp; So, I&#039;ve been having to upgrade my poorest coins as time goes by.&nbsp; My lincoln cent collection now has a few coins that would grade VF or EF but most are AU and above.&nbsp; On the other hand, I completed an uncirculated set of Jefferson Nickels many years ago and then another 3 sets since.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
