Looking For A New Project - Any Advice

I am thinking of starting a new project with coins I have not collected in the past. I want this to be a short set with a reasonable prospect for completing the set in decent to high grade, without breaking the bank.

My short list is two cent, three cent or shield nickels.

Any advice is always appreciated.

    I like the three cents... Now are you going to go for silver or nickels???
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I was pretty much referring to a NEW project. I started on a new set of high grade Frankies a couple of days ago, spurred by your suggestion. It's pretty easy to do, as you just go to ebay, search for "LucyBop" and bid on everything you find!! image

    We dragons (being mythical creatures) are immortal and cannot be slain! We can however be mollified with tributes
    of rare coins - preferably large gold and silver ones (as long as that UBM is not on the face of them!)! imageimage

    Frank,
    How about a one year MS or Proof set. Some of these do not even have any entries in registered sets. I am working on a 1943. It will never be at the top, but I am having fun. The late 30s and 40s really have some of the neatest coins. Walkers, mercs, war nickels, even the pennies like steelies and some were made with shell casings.
    Steve
