some people collect sets by years, so in that sense every one of them.

 

Does the Susan B. Anthony qualify or was that 2 years.

 

They made Susan B. Anthony dollars in 1979, 1980, and 1981.

 

and 1999.

also, any single type of the modern commems...

 

I like to say that I have a complete set of Denver minted Morgans, because they were only made in Denver in 1921.

 

The key, of course, is how one defines "complete". For me, this thread boils down to a one-year type. The word "type" itself is open to personal interpretation.

1796 $2.5 no stars
1808 $2.5
MCMVII (why say more ? )

 

A few off the top of my head...

No cents liberty nickel - 1883
Satin proof buffalo nickel - 1936
Chain cents - 1793
Wreath cents - 1793
Type 1 IHCs - 1859
No drapery seated coins - 1839
Arrows & rays seated coins - 1853
High relief peace dollars - 1921

 

How about the Obama dollar that I got earlier this year?

 

A collection of New Orleans Indian Half Eagles is just one coin, a very expensive coin

 

I've heard that the 1921 High Relief peace dollars were the only high reliefs, BUT, according to the redbook, 35,401 peace dollars in 1922 were high relief.
Can somebody explain this?

 

Until just recently it was thought that all of the 1922 "high relief" coins had been melted down. But there is now a single specimen known. (This does not include the 1922 high relief proofs.) The question is, Are there any more?

 

1913 - Type 1 Buffalo

 

Here's another way to spin it : die variety collectors. Die varieties are collected by year.

 

I have a complete set if War Nickels, and also a near complete set of Mercury Dimes!
I also have a lot of Chinese silver dollars.
