I have 3 sets going - I guess I'm working on 1 my Kennedy set is complete to date but need additions each year. My complete Half date set is not a working set as I add coins to it as I fill my working set. So 1 it is.

I have really only 3 sets active and I am working on all three and darn close to finishing two, so close in fact that I am starting to make upgrades if they pop up! I have kinda let the third set go for now as coins have become difficult to find and I am focusing on the other two. I am using the coins to compete in the various mint sets for those years
Six sets active. One is complete and another is 79% complete. However the four remaining sets contain multiple stoppers and will remain incomplete forever.
I'm working on a gold type set and a Morgan set. I'm also working on several sub-sets of the Morgan set; I figure that if I'm working on all dates and mint marks, plus major varieties like O over CC, eight tail feathers, or "reverse of '78," I'm also already working on a one-of-each-date subset, a one-of-each-mint-mark subset, and subsets of specific mints--so, I might as well get points for it. I even finished the easy 1878-1882 San Francisco subset, and I'm only missing the 1921-D for the mint mark set.
I figure that a complete Morgan set will take bloody ages, so I'll pick a sub-set at a time and let the full set happen over the years. As for the hundred billion VAM varieties out there, I figure that for the time, energy, and fortune such a thing would entail, I'd rather have other coins--I'd rather have a few really great rarities than some 10,000 or so Morgans. (I think I can settle for two hundred or so...)

about 7, none are complete. In the long run working on so many at once will pay off... but I have to admit it sure would be nice to have finished at least one set by now.
I have only one set I'm working on. Roughly 8 years in and I'm about 40% complete, maybe less as I need to upgrade a couple coins.
That is for the certified coins...I do have quite a few nearly complete, or complete, raw collections in Dansco albums, but my real focus goes to the certified Lincoln cents
edit...whoops, I do have a complete PCGS PR69DC Ike dollar set, shows you how often I think about them

thinking about starting a third, but will keep that a secret for now

Just three. Two are complete, but one of those
is just a three coin set that I had to complete
anyway for the other complete set.

Four or five of them I will probably never complete until I win the lottery.
