What's Next?

The UHR was the first coin purchase I've made in probably 6-8 months.

I want to get back into the swing of things. I sold off a lot of my accumulations to fund the UHR.

I'd like to work on completing a set of some kind. I've done a lot in the past:

Lincolns
Buffalo Nickels
Peace Dollars
Morgan Dollars
Jefferson Nickels
Walking Lib Halves
Kennedy Halves
Ike Dollars
Statehood quarters
Silver Eagles
US Gold Type Set
And a US Type Set (dansco 7070)

I'd like something that I wouldn't have to spend a lot on per coin, that could be completed in a reasonable amount of time, and wouldn't bore the heck outta me.

Any ideas? I was thinking maybe Braided Hair Large Cents, or 2c pieces. I'm open to suggestions!

    VF-XF set of Bust Halves. Just the date set and maybe important varieties. Your choice.

    That would be HUGE IMHO.

    I've definitely considered that. I love CBHs, but the price would be the limiting facor here. They're easily $100++ each.

    I recommend Two Cent Pieces...relatively easy set to complete; historically significant; interesting odd denomination.

    I recommend bust dimes 1809-1837. It's fun and challenging, and a nice F or VF of most dates can be had for 50 dollars or so. I've been working on them off and on for a little while now.

    how about a franklin half dollar set, still a nice size cion. and if you finish the set you could always add the proofs to keep things going.

    My vote goes to Lincolns. An awesome set in AU can be assembled on the cheap minus a few dates. Plus, brown copper always has a nice, distinct look.
