[QUOTE="Publius2, post: 26732596, member: 105571"]Lincolns - Yes. Each of these is a distinctly different design, albeit small changes. Nickels - For these modern nickel issues, I only place one of the issue in the Set. Peace Dollars - I treat the High Relief as optional although I will probably get one. Now the High Relief St. Gaudens I probably won't get due to cost. Of course, it's your type set and you can exclude/include whatever suits your fancy and budget. For example, I include any coinage that circulated in what would become the U.S. all the way back to the 16th century. I only include U.S. issues that circulated as money which excludes patterns, special Mint issues and the like. Some folks exclude proofs but I include them if the coin design circulated. What I like about Type collecting is that you are free to dive down any rabbit hole you like. Unless, of course, you allow yourself to be externally constrained by Registry Sets and Dansco albums.[/QUOTE]
