<p>[QUOTE=&quot;krispy, post: 1043651, member: 19065&quot;]A type set of US and world coins whose obverse portraits most closely match those of the same era of US coins you collect. </p><p><br /></p><p>For instance with modern US coins you need world coins who match each like:</p><p><br /></p><p>Lincoln facing right portrait needs to be paired with another country whose leader or famous person, allegorical figure in portrait, facing right appears on the obverse, in copper (or brass) composition and is as close in diameter as possible to the US coin.</p><p>Jefferson Nickel facing left, size, nickel or other white metal compositions, etc.</p><p>Roosevelt Dime facing left, size, clad, reeded edge maybe, etc</p><p>Washington Quarter facing left, size, clad, reeded edge maybe, etc</p><p>Kennedy Half Dollar facing left, size, clad, reeded edge maybe, etc</p><p>One Dollar (depends which modern design you pick) you get the idea...</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d suggest not pairing your set to Canada since their coins are amongst the closest in size and composition alreay. Try something more obscure or mix countries in your set if you like: maybe only Asian countries or only Latin American countries, only European nations...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
