Difficulty	Relative explanation (my own opinion)
	Relatively easy to complete, with perhaps about up to 5% which may prove to be difficult or challenging
	Moderately difficult to complete with several key dates (perhaps doable over a long period of time)
	Extremely difficult to complete with too many key dates or simply too expensive (perhaps need a lottery to finish such type set)

Personal recommendation. I am in most of the mentioned forums.

Currently looking for:

• Any world overstruck coins that I don't have, very interested in overstruck Chinese coin over Korean 5 fun, Persian copper fals overstruck on Russian 2 kopeks, underlying image must be relatively "clear"
• Cheap Soviet mint sets other than what I have
• Damaged Korean coins under Japanese protectorate (with real cheap price please)
• Korean Mint set
• Any Kiau Chau (QingDao under German rule 1909), Tunna Tuva and Spitzbergen (1946 and 1998 - not looking for commemoratives)
• Check my type set that I am collecting and look for the missing common coins that I don't have. Willing to trade or buy.

I normally don't pay more than 100USD at any one time unless I desperately want it OR the coin that I am looking for is better than what I am looking for. Note: damaged, bent, scratched, holed etc are all fine provided the price is just right for it!
