<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 2308173, member: 59737"]When I was in my early 20s, I had this crazy ambition to try to do a series of every US coin. Grade wasn't so important as completing the series. I started with Lincoln Cents and got all the way to 1998 I believe (I only need the S VDB and 1914-D to be complete sans varieties like the 1922 no D). I then went to nickels and dimes. I got a series of all Jeffersons and Roosevelt Dimes sans proofs. I then got a series of Kennedy Halves and Eisenhower Dollars, proofs included. I got the State Quarters 1999-2008 sans proofs. I fizzled out in the Quarters, Mercury and Barber Dimes, Franklin Halves, and Buffalo Nickels. I still have a lot of the series I was chasing and I will add to them if/when possible, but I've given up all that craziness and decided on an XF or better US Type Set (stopping in the 90s, I don't like the new nickels, cents, or quarters really). I accept that I might have to settle for lesser grade items early and pre 1800. It's still pretty darn expensive and will take me a lifetime (hopefully my future children will pick up where I left off).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
