<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 267927, member: 4552"]Naturally most will say what they would do or are doing. So I'll say what I'm doing and it's basically what someone already said. Don't waste time and effort with just one type, date, condition, etc. Just start collecting coins. I do that. I started by buying Whitman folders of almost everything. From bank rolls, bags and just change I started to fill most of them. This means buying more of them but after a while, whitman came out with Albums instead of folders so I started buying them. As one filled I started another set. I now have 97 Albums and most complete. Just started the 9th Mercury Dime album and almost filled it with duplicates in my 2x2 piles. Missing only the 42/41 and 42D/41. </p><p>The advantage of doing this is as already noted. You can add whatever you acquire, whenever you acquire and from anywhere you acquire a coin. That way you don't go nuts looking for just one or two coins and as a set completes you feel a lot better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
