My Mood:  | Hooray!!! The Typeset Is Done
I've been working on my version of a typeset for quite a few years.
I finally filled my last hole.
Here's the finishing touch: 
Just noticed the die crack on the obverse from about 9 to 11.
Much more noticeable in this image than it is in hand.

Congrats on the completion of your type set & NEWP. Gorgeous example too!!! One of the types still on my list. 
Tell us, how have you defined your typeset? Does it include all 20th century coins? All types?
Just wondering...Mike

Looks like the Hot Chicks of American Coinage typeset.. I'm trying for the same thing. When I finish that, it will be the Hot Chicks of World Coinage next..

Nice!! It sure is pretty.
Of course, as someone told me on one of my post....the perverbial stick is left in the closet & waiting for somone else to bring it out. Heck, I can't remember the exact wording but it was a good laugh.
Glad your "last hole is filled". LOL
Peace

My typeset is whatever I could afford in XF or better.
That pretty much limited my oldest to:
Half Cents - Draped Bust
Cents - Classic Head
Half Dimes - Capped Bust
Dimes - Capped Bust
Quarters - Capped Bust
Halves - Capped Bust
Silver Dollars - Seated Liberty
Gold Dollar - Liberty Head
$2.50 - Classic Head
$3.00 - Indian Princess Head (only type)
$5.00 - Classic Head
$10.00 - Coronet
$20.00 - Coronet
Several coins had to be VF rather than XF:
1814 Large Cent (Classic Head)
1807 Half Dollar (Capped Bust / Lettered Edge)
1836 $5.00 (Classic Head)
My most recent coin is a 1943 Steel Cent in PCGS MS-66.
I've got other newer coins but I'll start looking seriously for MS-65 to -67 ones now.

where the hell is the pics of those coins also?
I'd love to see the coronets and the seated liberty dollar
and a couple of the capped busts, esp. the half
very nice, the detail on the eagle really stands out

I particularly like the 1837.
I've got a "thing" for prominent die cracks.

Tell me, did you collect all of the seated types -- with arrows, without arrows, without drapery, etc?
Being a type collector myself, I have really struggled with including all these (sub)types in my set, and was wondering how you've handled this situation.
Take care & again congrats!...Mike
