Thats exactly the same way I am. Im more of a collector than a competitor. Its way out of my budget trying to compete. I enjoy putting my sets in the registry to display them and it helps set a goal for me. To complete a set it helps me keep up with what I need. I enjoy looking at all the other peoples sets also. $60 is big money for a coin for me. I wasnt smart enough to get a good job when I was younger and my budget is very low. Some coins I gave around $150 to $200 but it was when the weather was good and I would put back 20 or 30 out of each check if I had it until I saved up for one. Thats why its taking me so long to complete my set. All this trouble and bad weather has put a hurting on me and I aint been able to get none for a couple months but soon as it clears up and I get back to working everyday Im gonna start on those rosies. Im really wanting to do a full torch set. Im also wanting to do an SMS cameo set also. Not sure what year yet. I been looking and I may be able to afford a lower grade one. 

Thats very cool to even have a number 2 set.  I foresee in the future you will have that number 1 spot again. You got a very nice set. I really enjoyed looking at it. Those are some stunning Lincolns. Very well presented also. The descriptions and everything. Looking at your set and @Lem Ewonderful set of Jeffersons has inspired me to work harder on mine. Im gonna write descriptions on my Washingtons. Its bout too late on them but Im gonna try to finish them out with some nice coins but not super high grades. I done got in a hurry and spent a pile of money on problem coins and theres way to many and hard key dates out of my budget. Im still very happy and grateful for what I have done on it. Im gonna finish it out slowly. I am however gonna start a set of Roosevelt dimes. Im gonna to try to go full torch and be more picky on them. It will be pricey on some but way less in a set and really no really hard key dates such as the 32 d & s GWs. Or the 1950 d/s & s/d. I dread getting those. But the set of dimes will be easier on me to find and Ive got a fresh start to pick the right coins for my set. I plan on being more creative and write cool facts and descriptions. I really enjoyed your set and thanks for sharing it with all of us to enjoy and inspiring people like me to try and do better.
