I'll let you define what a "set" is.....
But I thought it might be interesting to see what people are holding, or what they do once a set is completed. Do they complete and sell to finance other pursuits, or do they complete and keep.
My answer for sets in-house:
1) Franklin Halves
And, to expand the question....what have you completed, and liquidated?
Me: Nothing.

I have had numerous Franklin sets over the years. I've sold them, and then a few years later, get the bug again.
Have always loved toned Franklins. Man, years ago it was a lot easier, and less expensive to get a beautifully toned Frankie....mint sets were cheap, and I busted up a lot to get some serious Frankies.

Coin collecting is not a hobby, it's an obsession !
New Barber Purchases
Linclon Memorial cents
All three Ike sets
Basically anyone who completes a registry set in one of these categories beats me out.
I did sell everything I had several years ago (PR 1938-42 coins). Now I am starting again - just started collecting this year again actually.
