<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bkprewitt, post: 1493545, member: 33172&quot;]Sounds like something similar to what I&#039;m doing, only I&#039;m calling it a &quot;Modern Type Set&quot; in which I&#039;m defining &quot;modern&quot; to be a coin that has a real person on it (e.g., instead of an image of Lady Liberty or the like (although I&#039;m including an ASE proof even though it depicts Liberty, as I&#039;d consider it a modern).&nbsp; I&#039;m also purchasing them all in NGC EdgeView holders with the highest grade I think is reasonable (ultra moderns being 69UCAMs).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m defining &quot;type&quot; as having having a different obverse or reverse design, and not considering different compositions as types.&nbsp; For each design type, the set will include a silver version, if available.&nbsp; For the years, I&#039;m trying to select &quot;transition years&quot; such as 1958 and 1959 for cents and 1964 for dimes, quarters, and halves (the last year of silver in circulation coinage).</p><p><br /></p><p>For the rotating quarter reverses, I&#039;m not getting everyone, especially not in silver. Instead, for the Statehood Quarters of Ohio (born and raised there), Massachusetts (lived there for four years), Texas (currently live here for ten years), and New Mexico (wife from there).&nbsp; For ATB&#039;s I&#039;m getting Acadia (proposed to wife there) and Volcanoes (honeymooned in Hawaii).&nbsp; For Presidential Dollars, I&#039;m including only Washington and Lincoln.</p><p><br /></p><p>All told, it&#039;s a 36-coin set (that grows by one each year as another Native American Dollar Reverse design comes out).&nbsp; I&#039;ve completed 26 of the 36.&nbsp; The toughest one will be the 1942 Jefferson Nickel with the Wartime silver alloy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once complete, I my try to add earlier coins to make it a 20th Century and later set.&nbsp; Not sure that helps you, but that&#039;s what I&#039;m doing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
