<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 3631855, member: 74968&quot;]I completely agree with this. The only rule is to have fun.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with this sage advice. It took me about 6 months to build my fir 12 Caesars set in silver. Near the end I made compromises on the final additions because I wanted to get done. I no longer have those final coins. In fact I gave them away. Building the first set taught me to slow down and appreciate each and every coin. I agree that it is easy to assemble a set in a few months, but I also think it matters what specific coins are in the set. I assembled my first set with an eye towards interests reverse designs. I was able to add some very rare types and to me it made the set more interesting. This may not be the same for you. [USER=98035]@Finn235[/USER] is correct there is no right way.</p><p><br /></p><p>It took me a year to build my second set. With this second set I was interested in choosing coins that one does not see everyday. There are a number of coins in the set connected by common themes or similar reverse designs. I really wanted the second set to tell a story of the time period.</p><p><br /></p><p>The third set happened almost by accident. I was being what I thought were interesting coins but within just a few months I had a third set. In fact, I just replaced 2 of the 12 to make the set totally in silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am now working on a fourth set ( I have 5 of the 12) in bronze. Specifically I wanted to build a set using provincial coins. Provincial coins are interesting fun and collectible.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, if you want to build a set, go ahead but do your research first. Wander around the different coin sites, ask lists of questions, start watching auctions to get an idea of the price you should be paying, and again make sure to have fun.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you should need any help or have any questions please send me a pm.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
