What I was trying to say is that the typical collector is <i>concerned</i> with sets, and that to understand coins to the point of being able to create sets requires deeper knowledge. Defining sets is not necessarily taken on by the collector though. The vast majority of the time that task is taken on by the cataloger, and the collector simply fills the slots based on pre-made sets created by someone else.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm in the preliminary stages of writing a book in English about Austro-Hungarian coinage, so I'm going through the process of creating sets from scratch based on a deeper understanding of Hungarian history.
