To do a 5 piece type set which might take upwards of 15 years in order to find the right matching coins?

Sure.
I would have the patience.
Maybe not the money needed, but patience, sure.
Makes the end of your quest that much more satisfying.
Never. But I am on the dark side of 70 so there's that.

Nope. I wouldn’t have the patience at all. That’s why I wouldn’t try. In any case, I can’t think of any set with that few items in it that I would be interested in completing.

Sure, I could do that. After all, I could still work on other things, as well, while the hunt continued.

I almost didn't make it to the last post.
15 years is nothing. I'm working on sets that may not be completable in my lifetime!
I'll add I've been on the forums for 15 years already! Do I get a medal?
Yes. I have sets like that.
I just have enough of them to stay interested.
No. Too many nice coins to own while still being selective.

Absolutely.

Certainly. A good set to work on and always have your eyes peeled for that perfect fit coin.
However, I would not have the patience if it was the only 5 coins I could buy until I was complete, and it could take 15 years

No. Too many variables to derail the effort.
You aren't alone.

I had the patience in my younger years, likely still do, but not the time. Now I am content with the coin(s) that interest me for design, history, quality etc., albeit they may fit no series or set in my collection. Just enjoying the hobby. Cheers, RickO
I've been playing with my Buffalo Nickel set since the late 1960's. Any time I can upgrade, and it doesn't bankrupt me I do it.
I'll never stop.
