I have finished my modern circulation strike type set The S. Jackson Collection and have now opened it up for the world to see. I had it blacked out temporarily because I was doing alot of buying within a small community and did not want to tempt anyone with the opportunity to exploit.
The set is a work in progress with the spreadsheet showing 67.56 when I'm finished. It has been a joy to put this set together with about a third coming from forum members I've 'met' some fine people along the way. There are some types in here that I didn't think I would ever own, and frankly can't stand the designs, but the joy of seeking every type really appeals to me and has forced me to learn about some coins that I never would have considered.
In the spirit of this long awaited event (for me at least), I am also opening my 20th century circulation type set no gold with varieties The S. Jackson Collection I also just deleted the no varieties version because I don't see the benefit of registering in both. Seems kinda hoggish when you compare the two compositions.
My 1/10 oz. platinum set This one has always been open. I'm the ruler of that domain
Please take a moment and look at some of my sets and feel free to comment on my choices or post links to your open sets.

Take it to the open forum, you "alternative lifestyle"!
You might be right about the FB comment...but you might not. I know that the FB designation is for Mercs but several serious Roosevelt collectors do concentrate on obtaining fully struck, "full bands" examples of their coins. I think that some of these collectors may have also lobbied PCGS to begin using an FB designator on Roosevelts; I'm not sure if there was ever any progress made on that front or what current efforts may be (I guess the fact that PCGS does not have FB for Roosies tells us something though).

who boasts of twenty years experience in his craft
while in fact he has had only one year of experience...
twenty times.
Darn, now I gotta study the Roseys in my type set to see if I need to upgrade.
We'll use our hands and hearts and if we must we'll use our heads.
dates that are rare in fb. fs for nickles, now some of em are rare, but
not roosevelts, so no premium
