<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 5187932, member: 116145&quot;]Wow kanga, that&#039;s an impressive half-cent set!&nbsp; You all provide interesting perspectives, thank you.&nbsp; I&#039;ve &quot;collected&quot; interesting coins for years, since I was a kid, but I didn&#039;t really have any focus - I&#039;d buy some Morgans or a Trade Dollar or some Capped Bust halves just because they were interesting and to have them.&nbsp; One of the reasons I thought collecting Standing Liberties was a good idea was because I had a good start from random purchases over the years (of course mostly poor quality high mintage years) - and they were cheap - and only 36 to finish the set (or 37 with the 1916) plus my youngest son showed some interest and I was in no rush, so I thought I could finish the collection up inexpensively with diligence and some luck.&nbsp; That didn&#039;t quite work out - the 1921, 1923S and the 1919S &amp; 1919D at the end all came pretty dear, and I wasn&#039;t even buying really nice ones, though I did get really lucky on the 1916.&nbsp; Now that it&#039;s &quot;done&quot; I find myself spending on higher grade common SLQs to improve the set.&nbsp; The lesson I&#039;ve learned is that it&#039;s rather addictive and fun, and it ain&#039;t cheap.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
