Are there any PCGS registry sets that are fairly easy and not too expensive to complete?
I would love to start one.

    the $10 plat set has 5-6 coins with 4 of them under $85 ea at BIN prices and the highest being the 1998 ms69 at like $500 if you go so the whole set can be had for under $1000.00 and have 6/10 of a oz of PLAT

    I would like to recommend the Proof Jefferson '65-Present set. The majority of dates can be had in PCGS PR 69 DCAM for around $20 each. The SMS coins and the early '70s are tougher and make it more interesting. If you get the set to %100 complete you will be in the top 20. I think deep cameo Jeffs look great.

    Probably the cheapest set to do is the proof Sacagawea. MS Sacagawea is also easy , but tough when you get into the MS 68 coins , and you need the Goodacre which is around $ 350 for an MS67.

    For beauty, history and moderate pricing, the Walker short set is a good one in MS64. If you're patient and careful, you can get some beautiful coins in that grade at a huge discount from MS65.

    Only 20 coins in the set. The only really pricey one is the 41-S, and even it can be had in PQ condition for under $200.

    Check out the Pan-Pac commem subset. Five coins. Get two or three "braddicks" and you're #1, all time. image

    Russ, you feelin' ok?? Or just trying to keep Kennedy prices down. image

    Most of the modern sets can be completed quite inexpensively if you're not concerned about getting a top-ranked set.

    If you like big coins, a variety of metallic compositions and appearances, several major type changes, enough coins to be interesting without overwhelming, cheap entry price and yet tremendous challenge if you decide to pursue top-grade examples... then as always:

    Where've you been?image I'm up to 65% on my short set. Slow going, though, because I'm building in a lower grade and looking for coins that look like the above - just got that one in this week.image

    But the heads on those Walkers are so... tiny.

    I like Russ's suggestion on this one. I personally don't think you should try complete a set just because it is cheap. While I like some modern coins, such as Ikes, others such as the Sacs, SBAs or the bullion coins just don't do it for me. Go for a set that you will really enjoy, and I would think just about anyone would like a short set of Walkers.

    I Decided to go with the short set of WL's and 1965-present Roosevelt dimes. I have a few WL's aready such as the 41 S in atleast MS 63 and I know they are not cleaned.
