New member here. I'm a "wannabe" but I'll introduce myself anyhow.

Hello everybody, I’m new here so I’ll tell you a little about my interests.
I began collecting coins in 1986 with the SAE debut. It was more of an accumulation until I graduated from college and began working. Since then, I’ve completed some circulated sets; Merc dimes (with the 16-D), Walking Liberty Halves, Peace dollars, Washington quarters, Franklins, Jeffersons, and some Unc or close to unc sets like the SAE’s, Ikes, and SBA’s.
In 1994 I started a circulated Morgan set that now only needs two coins, probably not the two you think. I still need the 1880-CC and the 1885-CC. It is quite the long term collection and is my favorite thus far. I also have a long term peace dollar collection in progress. It’s number 26 or something like that in the NGC registry under the name David18.
After the Morgan set is done this year (hopefully) I’ll be looking for the next challenge. Someone here has a killer type set in a Dansco album. Maybe I’ll shoot for that but I may choose to complete an early set of Draped bust halves since I already have the 1803 to 1807. 1801 and 1802 are tough.
I consider myself a “wannabe” dealer and hate “real” dealers that advertise to “serious” collectors. I’m serious as heck, even about my found-in-rolls holed Kennedy collection. How serious I am has nothing to do with how much money I spend on coins.
Hope to post a lot. Dave.

Quite a collection you've got going.

You sound pretty damn serious to me.

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 like circulated coin sets. Not are they less expensive than UNC sets, but they are sometimes even harder to complete. At this point I've found a lot more BU coins to plug holes in my 1876 year set than choice circs.

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.
