[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 1493309, member: 307"]type collecting is probably one of the most individual ways of collecting coins that exists! I am a big fan of 20th century stuff and as such I started out putting together 20th century type sets. I found that there were pros and cons including that many of the coins were so common that it was difficult to find one that I felt was worthy of a really nice set. Example: For my clad Roosevelt dime I bought a 1982 No-P because there was no real key date or rarity. You're talking of assembling a set of proofs. A few things enter my mind on this endeavor. This set would exclude 2 20th century type coins, the Morgan Dollar and the Standing Liberty Quarter Dollar as proof examples of these coins were never minted in the 20th century. The Peace Dollar has proofs, but they are way out of most collector's budgets. Walking Liberty Half Dollars, Mercury Dimes, and Buffalo Nickels will also be quite expensive in proof. All in all, it's a great idea and would be an excellent set. Some coins would be very common (Lincoln Memorials, Roosies, SBAs, Sac Dollars, etc.) and some would be quite scarce. the best part about collecting is that you get to do it however you want. There's no right or wrong, it is truly an individual thing. Do I think it's cool? Absolutely! But do you? That's the question![/QUOTE]
