You say that "Actually I would want even more than one full set, as maybe a set would fetch a much higher price in a couple of years than indivual sought after coins."
This sounds like flipping to me.
People collect all sorts of things and there is nothing wrong with it, unless it starts to make you unhappy.  Collecting may not turn into the best investment strategy.
 

I have all of the Queen's Beasts except the Griffin.  I keep going back and forth over whether it is worth it to buy the Griffin - especially since numerous people have said that the lion and the griffin have a lot of nicks in them unless you can get a proof.  And I know my lion does have two little nicks in it, and it's the only one that didn't come in a protective cover.
The guy at my coin shop says if I'm patient the griffin will come back down in price, but what if it doesn't, and what if it's the only one from the set that gets really valuable?
