I just ran across my first Vatican City coin and it's peeked my interest in starting a collection of said coinage. Is it realistic to aim towards such a collection - and how difficult is it going to be to assemble a complete collection?
Thank you kindly

Well on the one hand, the coins are usually pretty cheap, although there are some pretty high value ones; on the other hand they're pretty low mintage, so it might be pretty hard to track down all of them. Good luck though, I've started a little collection of them and I've got about 20 or so different ones. I think I've got one or two in my swaps too.
It's "piqued" not peeked.
Anyway, the Numista catalogue lists 364 Vatican City coins, so there are many to choose from. The Sede Vacante coins are favorites and quite sought after.
I have a bunch of the Popes. These are among my favorites coins to collect.
I love these low mintage coins !
But most of them are hard to get and prices are (much) higher than mentioned in Krause.
Collecting them a 'few' years now, I now got 134 coins from Vatican City.
With special thanks to friend Enrico from Rome.

I just love these coins (and the ones from San Marino !), but it will be very difficult and expensive to obtain a full set ! Because of the low mintage and they're non circulated coins.
Then my friends I am set to at least try to obtain a respectable set if these coins beware I am on the hunt to bad I did not have this passion when I traded out my very first Vatican coin
