<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 318163, member: 4626"]I have what I call a "complete" set of Kennedy halves that contains every business strike made for circulation (even if they didn't in fact circualte, like the 1970-D, 1987's, etc.) Some would insist to make it actually complete I should also get the varieties, silver clad bicentennials, proofs, silver proofs, matte finish, highly accented hair, etc... but I'm willing to call it complete for my purposes. It all depends on how strict you want to be with the definition... and that's totally up to you. If you want you can omit proofs, varieties, extreme rarities, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I usually collect by type, not series, anyway... Kennedy halves and Lincoln cents are the only exceptions for me (also have a handful of Mercury dimes inherited from my grandmother, but not actively collecting any more of them).</p><p><br /></p><p>Collect whatever you like and the only person's definition of "complete" that matters, is yours. It's your collection after all; you're done when you say you are.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
