<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 4769921, member: 77413&quot;]I have been posting my progress on building a type set in the <font size="4"><b><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/posts/4684385/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/posts/4684385/">Let&#039;s see your newest acquisitions!</a> </b></font>thread. [USER=110679]@bradgator2[/USER] suggested that the story of my progress might be of interest in its own thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will combine the various posts I have already made into this thread, and add new posts as new coins join the set. For coins I already had before I started the set, I will post links to where I already posted them on CoinTalk.</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From the post <b><font size="4"><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/new-albums-then-crack-out-frenzy.364000/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/new-albums-then-crack-out-frenzy.364000/">New albums, then crack-out frenzy</a></font></b>:</p><blockquote><p>Several threads on CoinTalk all came together for me and pushed me in a new direction. I was following the thread about finishing a type set, and had been wondering what to do next. I got inspired to get an Intercept Shield album and give that a shot.</p><p><br /></p></blockquote><p>The first step was to move coins I already had into the album. Then I went online and ordered a bunch of recent common coins. I generally went for Proof issues since the cost is so minimal. This is the last page of the six pages in the album.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1161956[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The classic Commemorative Half Dollars have their own posts, so you can see them in detail in <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-under-50-00-purchase.283435/page-97#post-3022386" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-under-50-00-purchase.283435/page-97#post-3022386">#1937</a>, <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lets-see-your-newest-acquisitions.158772/page-1088#post-2959867" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lets-see-your-newest-acquisitions.158772/page-1088#post-2959867">#21742</a>, and <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-a-toned-coin.191715/page-467#post-3043248" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-a-toned-coin.191715/page-467#post-3043248">#9334</a>.
