Out of curiosity, what is a cheap collection you are working on?

coinguy89

In cheap I don't mean style and I don't mean quality, I mean price. Im just curious.

Holed Type Set for the US, All inclusive - not just what's in a 7070.

magikbilly

PCGS Gem Proof deeply tissue toned Jeff 5c '38-'42. Much like the '41 I posted here that almost everyone said was "the ugliest dirtiest coffee-stained PVC damaged junk" or other words of encouragement to that effect

I have recently started picking up darkside coins with designs that I like. Here is my latest purchase. And to make things even better, it cost less then $12.

Betta285

SanctionII

Toying with putting together a clad 1956-1998 UNC Washington set, in large part due to posts on the subject of clads from Cladking and due to the fact that in the 1960's and 1970's I pulled MS quarters out of circulation in Denver and slapped them into a Whitman album. Looking at them years later, some with nice toning, reveals how nice they are. Thus my efforts to build a set.

anoldgoat

Clad dimes from mint cello. I have about 2/3 of the set from when I was putting together my nickel and half sets. Will do clad quarters also.

mgoodm3

I have some raw VF/EF halfdimes that I'd like to put into an album sometime.

rainbowroosie

Stellas in 67....cheap because I do not have one -- and never will!!!!

tjkillian

Proof bust dollars by die state. Mostly PR-68CAM and lower. Those DCAMs can get expensive.

Tom

No Band Merc dimes and World Coins that have the look. Now I hope it looks like this when it is received.



Ken

halfnut

MS 66 kennedy's -so far all have been under 40.00 but it's getting harder to find them that low. I'm also working on my 20th century type set in MS but I'm almost down to the expensive one's.

Myqqy

Uncirculated ASE's and modern proof sets (although some of the silver issues can be a little pricey.....)

MICHAELDIXON

As a kid, I always wanted a complete set of circulated 2 cent pieces. It's not a high priced set and I should have done it years ago, but I'm so excited about finally completing a set!!! I'm working on a circ set and am down to the 1872 and 1873. I want Fine to Very Fine and am being picky for the last two.

100proof1957

Also working on the SHQ sets in clad and silver.
I need the 99 and 01 silvers

Full set of 1999-2004 clads and silvers went for nearly 8 hunnys on PayBay last nite

islemangu

low grade barber dimes in a 1936 old board. Bought it with many already in it AG to VF which doesn't bother me since board itself interesting. Just 12 more holes to fill then can frame it underglass and display/hang it somewhere

morgannut2

Washingtons (1932-64)-------- In VF/XF; need 1 in '40's Morgans (1878-1921)---------- In AU; need about 40, and Morgan CC's in Poor to Good 4

seanq

I saw a couple of responses about low-grade Barber Dimes. Those are a fun set, I did one several years ago. It's a nice challenge to get a full set with the right look, I was very picky with mine as I wanted the album to look as if the coins had been together for decades.

I'm still working on my date set of clipped Lincolns, most of which are very affordable despite their relative rarity. I'm also working onclipped type, though some of those can get out of my price range.

Kennedy Halfs with varieties. Fairly inexpensive in the higher grades. I've put a set together in about 3 months. Needing only the 1967 in GEM to complete.

lincoln album #2 (1940 - today) in strictly brown xf. it's MUCH tougher than you think. try finding a 1983-d lincoln in xf.

K S

Geoman

Jefferson Nickels from 1938 - present.

I have been able to pull most for circulation, and also while searching rolls. I think I only need 5 more, but all the rest I paid only 5 cents for.

These aren't really so cheap anymore. Even if you buy really ugly coins the
'83-P is going to cost $25 and several others are up there. The cheapest set
will likely run over $100. A nice attractive well matched set is likely to cost
$400 or so and a gem set starts around this level even if you assemble it your-
self from raw coins. Forget slabbed gems if you're on a budget. A few of these
are very expensive and very few are really cheap.

Conder101

Well my Conders were cheap when I started them, but they are more and more expensive.

Nysoto

Centennial medals for Washington state, NW medals (Alaska-Yukon exposition, Lewis & Clark exp, etc), eastern King county trade tokens. Lots of interesting, rare, and cheap local stuff.

Coronet Head large cents in F - VF It's tough finding nice original pieces

mhammerman

Well, I collect indian dollars but sometimes the indian hunting is not so good. Sometimes I'm out of bullets and other times, there just aren't any ones I like that can be found. My diversion(s) are trying to complete my roll set of ASE's and not even half way there just yet and my new found diversion is FS MS 65+ war nickles. I can't wait for the big coin show here in late November (been reloading). Both these diversions are easy to find except for the 96 ASE's and not particularly hard on the wallet. We certainly have a very diverse and rich lot to choose from when collecting American coinage...quite fun!

Raw MS SAE.

I have about finished a collection of Barber halves in VG. I bought many 15 years ago for $2.50-2.75 each.
