I finished my very first set today!

Of all the coins I've collected, bought, sold, auctioned, given away, handled, ogled, and touched, I have never finished an entire set of a coin.
Thanks to a great deal with IrishMike, I have finished my MS Sacagawea set! (It actually registers on the Registry page! #22
). The proofs are also done. This is really a monumental achievement for me, especially considering the one coin that I had not yet found at a price for which I could raise the money.
After I get my upgraded 2000 P&D and my upgraded 2001-D (Sorry AgentJim, I "MADE" these
), the set might actually jump one or tow places.
What fun.
Now back to selling my heart out to help pay the bills!

New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

I actually feel like I did when I got my first 'teens Mercury at the local coin shop (that I bought with lawn-mowing earnings).

I finished a basic set of Morgans myself this week. Still a bit of tweaking to do but a nice feeling.
I'm seriously considering one of: Proof Jeffs, Proof Lincolns (that's a real hard one), or finishing out my proof Kennedys. The proof Washingtons have a special place in my collecting heart... Hard to say what the next step is.
Budget says it will probably be the Jeffs first, then the Kennedys...
Overall, this is cool stuff!
P.S. I'm still stuffing my G-VG folder of Mercs. It doesn't have a slot for the 41/42 overdate (whew!) but that 16D is way off in the future somewhere...
