How difficult would it be to put together a 1909 year set in MS62 or higher?

I have always wanted to put together a 1909 year set with every uncirculated coin made in 1909 including gold. I haven't ever done this before and was wondering if anyone has experience doing this or could give me some pointers. I also wanted to include a piece of currency, a baseball card, and a stamp. Maybe put it all in a nice shadow box display.

Any suggestions would be helpful. I am fully aware that some coins will be very expensive and it may take me a few years to put together.

The 1909-O $5 would be the stopper. $37,000 Greysheet bid in 62. Other than that, it would probably be pretty easy. The 1909-S VDB and 1909-S Indian are common, though key dates.

I would have to go with an AU on the 1909-O $5.

It's pretty difficult, jess. You already had to downgrade a coin.

Well, I don't think I want to spend more than $5k on any single coin.

Is the best place to buy the coins at a coin show? Online? Both if the deal is right?
