What sets are you working on

I'm currently working on my type set, though am also working on my Buffalo nickel and Peace dollar sets on the side, when a coin for either of those sets comes across that would look good for my sets of those I can't help myself.


edited to change nickle to nickel.

    I recently completed my BU set of Silver Eagles. I am now working on a set of PCGS MS69 Silver Eagles. Then it will be PCGS PR69 Silver Eagles, followed by Mint Box Proof Silver Eagles and Mint Roll BU Silver Eagles.

    Morgan pl/dmpl set. Is there anything else out there to collect? Well, this is the disturbing question that keeps me up late at night. As of yet, it remains unanswered.

    Circulated, original type (a few more moderns will be UNC)... my biggest goal is to get the really, really, REALLY original pieces... the grey circulated silver, which I just LOVE.

    PS- Also silver eagles, and US in general... I have a set of stuff I like... it's the best set you can buy.

    Working on a Complete US type set, need most of the 18th century gold, silver, and copper.
    Draped bust quarters and half dollars by die variety, have the major ones, still need quite a few marriages.
    Peace dollars, need 3 date/mm and then to do a round of upgrades.
    Silver Washingtons, done with 41-64, need the early dates and some upgrades, favor toned pieces.
    Merc dimes in G and better, late dates EF and better, need the 21 and 21D and of course the 16D.
    Roosies in Gem, need a couple of the early dates.
    Indian cents in circ grades (late dates VF and better, earlier ones G+, need lots of the early ones)
    Lincoln cents to 1977, ditto.
    Done with Jeffs to 64, Frankies, Ikes with silvers and proofs, and Kennedies 64-77.
    (these last 2, the only clad coins I have, outside of some examples for Type)

    PCGS registry sets (I already have the first 3 sets complete raw):
    1. Morgan (no varieties) by mid 2004
    2. Peace by mid 2004
    3. SAE by mid 2004
    4. Ike (varieties) by mid 2004 (1 left)

    Raw set:
    1. Walking liberty halves

    I had planned on completing the Morgan PCGS registry set by the end of 2003, but I didn't make it. I got sniped on eBay several times, plus I haven't found ones that I like yet.

    ...happy new year in another 80 minutes (CST)...

    Actually, the set I have been working on for ever is now complete.
    Do they bury me with it or do they try to sell it?
    I await your answer.
    The most money I made are on coins I haven't sold.

    Got quoins?

    I am 4 quarters shy of a complete Washington set in mid MS grade. Just sold some stocks to help me afford the 32 and 36d's. This set is mostly raw, but the earlier years mostly in pcgs and ngc.

    Also working on a Lincoln set that is complete from about '29 on.

    I'm working on a morgan set (uncirculateds to this point), a cameo franklin proof set, a bust half set, a peace dollar set, silver quarter proof set set, silver eagle set, and the first rumblings of a indian quarter eagle set. Whew! I've heard others advise to focus on one area extensively, but there are too many attractive coins out there!!!

    Don't really care for Morgans. The design is OK but they are just too common.

    Draped bust large cents by die variety (but I haven't added a piece in five years, those last five are TOUGH, low four figures in Fr-2 for the S-218, THEN they start getting expensive.)

    English Conder tokens intended to actually circulate as money, by die variety (I don't do the different edge varieties.). Some are very common, others just common, but there are some real tough ones in there as well Most of the "just common" ones had mintages in the fifty to one hundred thousand pieces range and the "scarce" in the 12,500 - 50,000 range. I've got 420 of the 651 pieces in the "set".

    Three coins from finishing my Liberty Nickel date set in mixed MS/Proof

    Then planning on doing a date set of Three Cent Nickels in the same shape. A fuzzy Idea about $2.50 Indians is out there also.

    All forward progress is haulted for a good bit, as my car ate it's transmission on the way to work last Friday (You too will believe a car can sound like a blender full of ball bearings on high), and I had to buy a new car with my coin fund (and it was a much better one then the dearly deceased). So I'm just looking at stuff for a half year or so until I can rebuild the fund.

    What I enjoy more then sets are low pop. coins like the 1998 sms half or 1997-p sms nickel in as high a grade as I can afford. Another exampel would be the 1956 type-1 proof half.
    To me to get coins with seriously low populations yet maintain collector interest is fantastic. But then to get them in top grade is even better.
