Message:: [QUOTE="Hobo, post: 359536, member: 11521"]You should consider building a Type Set. It doesn't have to be a complete set of every variety of every series. It can be whatever you want it to be.  It could be something as simple as 20th Century coins. (IH Cent, Lincoln Wheat Cent, Lincoln Memorial Cent, Lincoln Zinc Cent, Liberty Nickel, Buffalo Nickel, Jefferson Nickel, Barber Dime, Quarter and Half, Mercury Dime, Roosevelt Dime, etc.) Your type set would not need to include gold coins. You could put together a type set of Seated Liberty coins - Half Dime, Dime, Quarter, Half Dollar and Dollar. (If your set doesn't include the Gobrecht Dollar no one will think poorly of you.) Your Seated Lib type set could be expanded to include Motto and No Motto, With Arrows, Rays & Arrows, etc. Whatever you want is OK with us. Another possibility is to build a type set of obsolete denominations - Half Cent, Two Cent, Three Cent (silver and nickel) and Twenty Cent. (Again, no one says your type set has to include gold coins.)  The great thing about building a type set is that you will learn something about a lot of different coins. You might just run across a series that you didn't know much about and that, after learning about it, you really like and decide to collect that series.[/QUOTE]
