Message:: [QUOTE="Tim C, post: 2434268, member: 71569"]Interesting question.  First, you need to decide what “you” want to collect. Do you want just a date, mint mark and type set?  What do you mean by “major varieties”? If you are interested in a date, mint mark and type set, I would make sure the set included the following besides the standard P, D, Silver Proof, Clad Proof, 1965-67 SMS: 1964 Accented Hair1979-S Type I & II1981-S Type I & II1998-S Matte2014 P&D Obverse of 19642014-W Gold2014 Four-piece silver set When you say “Major Varieties”, this is when it might get tricky depending on who you talk with, so you have to decide for yourself what you want to collect.  There are several different opinions on what constitute being a “Major Variety” and the hobby has not established a definite list.  To start out, I would suggest the following varieties:1964  Proof  DDO-002  FS-1011964-D  BS  DDO-001  FS-1011964-D  BS  DDO-003  FS-1031964-D  BS  DDO-005  FS-1051966  SMS  DDO-013  FS-1031966  SMS  DDO-019  FS-1041967  SMS  DDO-006  FS-101 (probably my favorite variety of the series)1974-D  BS  DDO-001  FS-101 Some people would add others to the list and may take a few away.  Please remember that this is a hobby and what ever you do just have fun with it. Just my thoughts on the subject,Tim[/QUOTE]
