Those are lovely Peace Dollars....and I have been looking for a nice '21 myself... you have a good start on a set already. That being said, if you feel the need to ask the question, you may not have the desire to 'go all the way'. Sets are great, I did the Morgan CC set years ago...However, you really should dedicate time and effort to the challenge. I now focus on coins that excite me....Don't get me wrong, sets are great and are fun to pursue. It is a personal decision though....Remember, have fun, live, love and laugh....Cheers, RickO
You have a nice start. Put together your target grade and budget for each coin, then, make your decision if you want to complete the set.
If you do decide to complete the set, you may want to consider getting a slab 3-ring binder to house the set. It makes for easy viewing and storage of your set.
There are some that are difficult to find nice. The 24-s and 25-s come to mind. You might be able to find them in 64 easy enough but they seem to usually be lacking in eye appeal, I haven't found an acceptable one of either yet. Same with the 27-s.
A nice 34-S will set you back a few thousand, as others have pointed out already.
I always look at the price guide to get an idea on what a set in MS64... will cost. Gives me an idea of what is feasible. MS64 is pretty reasonable, MS65 is quite a jump, MS66 you need pretty deep pockets...
Another point to consider, being on an island without access to the larger coins shows you might want to team up with an honest member here(of which are many) with a great eye for Peace$'s that attends many of the shows and tell them what you would like, date, m/m, grade, color, strike and so forth and let them be your eyes. In this day of great photography via cell phones you could see the coin that they find for you and decide if it suits you. Opens a much larger avenue to drive your coin search down. Just an idea.

Especially if you need an MS66 1925-s cuz there aren't any at either service.
I'd want to chase this venture one at a time- you'd probably appreciate the series more if you were picky, took your time, and tested the waters on strike quality, technical condition, toning, along with luster, etc. First place on this one goes to quality...not quantity.
In the same vein, if you want to get the whole "flush" including branch mint coins of similar appearance, the "full monty" as it were, and blow your wad and the whole shooting match on the complete run, you will be richly rewarded if the coins are similar in certification and appearance, with a more desirable set.
