How many series have you completed?

As per red book or Dansco/Whitman/LOC albums. Basic Date MM variety minus the ubber rarities that 99% of us cant afford
You need not still own them. I only own a few of mine - have to sell to move on to the next set

Late Date Large Cents in XF
Indian Head Cents in XF
V-Nickels in VG
Buffalos in XF (never got the 16 DD)
Mercs in VF
Washington Quarter 32-64 in vf-au
CBH in XF-AU
Barber half dollar in vg/fine

That is 8 for me of which 3 I still own. Currently working on a number of seated series which I doubt I will ever complete. But I will have fun trying

  • Short set of gem Walkers
    Complete set of gem Franklins
    Complete Dansco set of ms, proof and silver proof Kennedys 1964-2007. Thinking about adding the page and completing to 2012.
    1909-1933 Lincolns in EF-AU all nice, even chocolate brown coins.

    Working on a 7070 Type set and always looking for upgrades to my Franklins and Kennedys.

    I've also started a short set of mercs, lustrous white coins with obverse die cracks.

    It took me thirty years to complete my PCGS Everyman's Indian Quarter Eagle Collection, the AU58 or less set. The first ones were harder than than the last ones. It seems a very large number of collectors decided to collect this short series. It is available in most any grade you desire, but it is extremely popular, so the MS examples are not so cheap due to demand.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    Try collecting this series in xf45 ... people think I an crazy becuase a few more dollars you can get AU . I like a challenge , look at the population in xf45 ... some there are only 5-6 .... I need the 1911-d , which I have seen before and the 1929 to complete it.

    Before I elected to concentrate my collecting efforts and resources exclusively on the United States half dimes, I collected and completed many other series, including:

    Lincoln Cents (VF-BU)
    Two Cent Pieces (XF-AU)
    Jefferson Nickels (multiple sets, including one entirely from circulation)
    Buffalo Nickels
    Liberty Nickels
    Shield Nickels (excluding proof only issues)
    Mercury Dimes
    Roosevelt Dimes
    Standing Liberty Quarters (including the 1916)
    Walking Liberty Halves
    Kennedy halves

    Canadian Small Cents
    Canadian Nickels

    Most of these collections have since been sold, and I now concentrate all of my efforts on United States half dimes, having completed the following:

    Draped Bust half dimes by date, and all of the R5 and better die marriages (excluding the 1802)
    Capped Bust half dimes by die marriage (91 of 92 marriages, average grade AU-57)
    Liberty Seated half dimes by die marriage
    They that can give up essential Liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither Liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin
  • None on the registry, YET.

    I could finish my Morgan Everyman set within a month if I wanted, but I don't want to settle for any coin just to fill a spot.


    My Peace Everyman - See above.


    My goal before I die is to complete the Everyman Complete Set US Coin Set (1794-1964) All 2,597 Coins.

    I can't afford nothing else than seated quarters business strikes. Still working on a nice set.
