20th century type set

I'm pretty sure the 1943 Lincoln in MS-66 won't cost anywhere near $1000.
I've got one and I believe it's worth about $40.
Although I'm MORE than willing to sell it for $1000

ok jonny law my bad ill fix that

 

wow that had to take some time

 

Do you all think this series list is a good way to get a good overall knowledge of coin collecting?
What, if any, "type" set could be made from the below???

Lincoln Memorial Cents
Jefferson Nickels
Mercury Dimes
Roosevelt Dimes
Washington Quarters
Kennedy Halfs
Eisenhower Dollars
Susan B Anthony Dollars
Sacagawea Dollars
State Quarters
Presidential Quarters
Large Silver Dollars(Liberty)
(forgot the name you guys call them)

I'm really trying to study up first before I dive in for good.
(I know my personality, my wife's gonna hate it)

 

First, that's an excellent start and the coins are affordable. So even the occasional "mistake" won't be too costly.

Sure it's a type set - almost anything is. If you were to include Wheat cents, you could call it "Circulating coinage of the World War II Generation" or whatever. Or maybe more appropriately, "Post World War II US Coins". Or... I think you get the idea.

Perhaps instead of thinking about sets, think of themes and then look for the sets that would compliment the theme. You can get wacky - "Coins that Sherlock Holmes might have had in his pocket at the end of the day".

 

With those coins, you're well on your way to a 20th century type set. You do have some 21st century coins thrown in too.

If you're just starting out, I highly recommend a 20th century type set (without gold) just as a way to get your feet wet. It's relatively inexpensive, easy to assemble, and you will expose yourself to a basic knowledge of several different series of coins.

Good luck!

 

What am I missing?

 

Get these sets: 1908, 1930, 1951. Add to these, an Ike, morgan and peace dollar, The JFK half and Anthony dollar, and a Linc memorial penny. That's it, you're finished. pretend the 1999 state quarters are 21st century.

 

your best bet is a 20th century type set becuse you already got about half the coins. that's what i would go with.

 

I have a few places to go and then I will print you a list of every coin you need like i said you have most of the coins you need already but a list allways helps cuz you can print it off and keep it

 

" 20th century type set"

1859-1909 indian cent
1909-1958 lincoln cent
1943 steel lincoln cent
1959- lincoln cent
1883-1913 liberty nickel
1913-1938 buffalo nickel
1942-1945 jefferson nickel
1938- jefferson nickel
1892-1916 barber dime
1916-1945 mercury dime
1946-1964 roosevelt dime
1965- roosevelt dime
1892-1916 barber quarter
1916-1930 standing liberty quarter (SLQ)
1932-1964 washington quarter
1965- washington quarter
1892-1916 barber half
1916-1947 liberty half

1964 kennedy
1965- kennedy
1878-1921 morgan
1921-1935 peace
1971- eisenhower

keep in mind even though the dates read 1891-1916 the coin you get has to be a 1900 or newer otherwise it would not be a "20th century " type set .o and you will also want to get a anthony dollar and if you have to a delaware quarter but I would just leave it out if i was you.
hope you find this info useful.:smile

 

I made sure that I had one coin produced during each major (US) war. And Viet Nam was a War not a conflict.

 

Again, a type set is whatever you want it to be.
I personally would add to Silverstruck1' s list.

1913 Buffalo nickel on Raised Ground
1913-1938 buffalo nickel FIVE CENTS in Recess

1916-1917 SLQ No Stars Below Eagle
1917-1924 SLQ Stars Below Eagle/Pedestal Date
1925-1930 SLQ Stars Below Eagle/Recessed Date

 

Very nice addition well said KANGA

 

On the SLQ's I personally consider the 16 and T1 17 to be different types, but there's not enough support out there for it.

Regardless, very good point.

 

Tell that to NGC.
If you want to do a full Registry set, you'll need all three SLQs.
Don't know about PCGS.
Never looked at their Registry type set.

 

Congress never declared war on Vietnam so it will forever be a conflict , I do believe . But tell that to the 50,000+ Americans that died or were wounded there .
