[QUOTE="RedTiger, post: 780868, member: 19098"]There are a lot of ways to go. Some do try for a complete date and mintmark set. Best to look at the price guides and the budget before deciding on a grade, because as some others have pointed out, there are some expensive coins in the set. Others start out with a date set, one from each year. Some focus on the Carson City coins. Some collect only Proof like and Deep Mirror Proof like coins. Some only buy coins with pretty toning. There are a lot of ways to go. As always, collect what you like, and enjoy the hobby. As always if buying expensive coins, learn the basics of grading and pricing before spending the money (this will take some time). This goes double for raw coins, but even if buying slabbed coins there are a lot of ways for a novice to be taken to the cleaners.[/QUOTE]
