<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Zephr, post: 1559853, member: 33743&quot;]<b>What series or type set are you working on?</b></p><p><b></b>I&#039;m currently working on my British Pennies from 1902-1970</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<b>How far along are you?</b></p><p><b></b>It&#039;s really hard to say. Date-wise I&#039;m probably about 80% done, but so far I&#039;ve been doing quite a bit of hole filling. I&#039;ve come down to my last couple of coins, most of which are early proof coins. As it stands mosts of the coins I have are not in the best condition, and once I finish with all of the dates I&#039;d love to upgrade the coins, but it may be out of my budget to do this.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<b>How long do you think it will take you to complete the series or type set?</b></p><p><b></b>Most of my remaining dates I think I&#039;ll be able to get within the coin show or two I attend, but the proofs may take quite a bit longer. I&#039;ve probably been working on this set for about 6 months now and I was only able to find my first proof for this set this past weekend at the Dallas ANA show.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<b>Why did you choose that series or type set?</b></p><p><b></b>I chose these because I wanted a bit of a challenge. Living in the United States it is quite easy to come across US coinage, but if I wanted to collect an entire set of foreign coins it would take a little bit of work. If I had decided to collect US cents, it is not a matter of being able to find the coins I want, but rather whether or not I can afford it. At almost any coin show I can probably find all of they key dates I wanted to for the US cents, but for the British pennies they&#039;re a little bit harder to come by and I feel like completing this set will be more rewarding.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<b>What obstacles stand in your way to completing the series or type set?</b></p><p><b></b>Like I mentioned, the availability of these coins, at least where I live is not too great. This biggest challenge is finding the coins that I need, not the value of those coins (unless I decide to make the collection 100% UNC, then I&#039;d have a major problem on my hands <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
