What Series do you have complete?

PrivateCoinCollector · January 21, 2007 1:08PM

Since I finished my Lincoln set today I thought I would start a thread with asking folks to list series they have completed. We can use the Dansco albums as a guide to what we call sets. I have a lot that are almost done, but these are really all done.

Lincoln Cents (1909-2006)
Jefferson Nickels
Liberty "V" Nickels
Roosevelts
Mercury Dimes
Franklins
Peace Dollars
SBA's with both Type II's

DUIGUY · January 21, 2007 1:18PM

Barndog · January 21, 2007 1:36PM

I've completed two sets of Lincolns, two of IHCs, one Barber Dime, one Mercury Dime, one Franklin, one Kennedy, one Eisenhower, one Washington Quarter, one Peace dollar, one Liberty nickels. Don't have all of them or at least all of them complete ... and the remaining ones will be sold or traded soon except for a couple.

coinlieutenant · January 21, 2007 1:36PM

Embarrasingly...zero...and I have never completed one...

ADHD I suppose.

speety · January 21, 2007 1:36PM

Circulated wheat cents and mercury dimes.

The extras are the 1922 plain, 1955 DDO, and the 1942/1.

Catch22 · January 21, 2007 4:06PM

The only complete set I ever put together was Indian cents. However, I have put together complete sets of key and semi-key dates of numerous others. I just never enjoyed having generic coins and the desire to complete a set was never too great to compel me to buy a common date.

STONE · January 21, 2007 9:27PM

Buffalo Nickels

Just about done with all the other series' of this time though. DARN KEY DATES getting in my way.

LincolnCentMan · January 21, 2007 9:46PM

I have my Lincoln cent set (1909 - date) complete with mainly XF and better on the first two pages. I dont have a 55/55 in it, but do have a 22-Pl. I personally do not consider any error coins a necessary part of a set for it to be complete.

I've also got a really nice well matched buffalo nickel set that is complete. Again, there's no error coins such as the 18/7-d or 37-D three legger. I'll probably get the three legger eventually, but have about -100% desire to own the 18/7-D.

I did have my Merc dime collection complete, but sold the 16-D out of it (NGC F15) and paid off a college loan. I may look for a full-rim G/VG example at the Houston show that wont cost me some exhorbant premium to buy. That would recomplete the set.

That's pretty much it for me. I'm about 20% complete with the 7070 type set.... long way to go there.

Just kidding......... needed a laugh today.

ricko · January 21, 2007 10:47PM

Kennedy's, Franklins, Morgan CC's. After those.. just personal series.. i.e commemorative halves from each state I lived in... etc. Cheers, RickO

USCGCraig · January 21, 2007 11:07PM

My pride and joy is my Barber Halves. 69 of the 73 coins are PCGS XF45. I'm trying to find the other four but have AU or slightly lower coins in those spots.

I did put together a raw Buffalo nickel set with the 18/17, 3-leg and the d/d and d/s. I also put togther a raw merc set, a gem Ike set both Unc and proof in PCGS holders.

SilverEagles92 · January 21, 2007 11:16PM

Peace dollars, and Jefferson nickels are completed!

That's a great undertaking and probably a lot more popular than some people will admit. xf45 is a tough grade to put together in a set, for sure.

mrpaseo · January 21, 2007 11:32PM

The only one I have ever come close to finishing is our Circ Merc set, I have the 16-D but not the two overdate errors.

Maybe I'll finish that set if they right coins come along...

Sadly I have no goal as of right now, money is tight... but it's always tight

The collection goes slow but steady

ziggy29 · January 21, 2007 11:34PM

When I finally buck up for the 1909-S, my EF/AU Indian cent collection will be complete save for a handful of upgrades on relatively inexpensive dates. I've just never gotten around to that one yet.

Nysoto · January 22, 2007 12:04AM

By date:

flowing hair halves
draped bust, HE halves
classic head $5 (less 38-D MM)

by redbook variety:

flowing hair halves
draped bust, HE halves (less knobbed 6 NS, 7 known)

by die marriage:

draped bust, HE halves through R.6 rarity

Almost:

draped bust dimes less 1804
capped bust halves less 1815

Completion is no big deal for me, as you are not really complete in pre-1839 series until all die marriages, re-marriages, and die states are collected. I would rather learn about another series than get stuck on a stopper. Its about the journey, not completion!

kranky · January 22, 2007 12:11AM

After reading the replies, it's clear there have been some great sets completed! Very impressive accomplishments, everyone.

I have never attempted a date/mint set of any series.

I have put together the following in Dansco albums:
Lincoln Cents
2 sets of Kennedy Halves
Sacs
Ikes
Silver Eagles
Peace Dollars (a really nice 1928)
Morgans almost complete

SkyMan · January 22, 2007 12:54AM

Peace dollars in MS64/65, $2.50 Indians in MS63/64, Franklin proofs in PR65Cameo and higher/(deeper). I sold the first 2 series and have kept the Frankie proofs. I'm currently working on (toned) MS Frankies and am about halfway there.

BillJones · January 22, 2007 1:04AM

I don't collect very many series.

I consider my Lincoln cents to be complete although I have not kept up with them since the 1960s. I also have a complete set of Indian $2.50 gold pieces.

I'd like to finish my Red Book collection of early half dimes, but the 1802 is beyond my means, and I've always had bad luck with the "normal date" 1796 half dime. I've got all of the others.

AUandAG · January 22, 2007 1:36AM

Wow, some nice sets above!
for me:
Lincoln cents less the 09svdb (never paid more than a penny for each - most found in circulation
or in hoards I've bought
Peace dollars all 64 or better
Morgans less the 93s as I just sold my VF and am looking for higher grade (no 1921's)
Add'l complete UNC New Orleans Morgans
Add'l complete CC Morgans x 2
Never tried any others but am looking at Mercs for next challenge.
