<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Soda Ant, post: 3818784, member: 13460&quot;]I agree with the sentiments you expressed. Having a set of coins that are identical except for a number (and possibly a letter) on the coin has never really interested me much. Even more so with series that are impossible (or nearly so) to complete due to one or more great rarities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Modern commems are more interesting because they&#039;re all different. The only thing stopping me from collecting a full set of these is that some of the designs make me want to gag. They&#039;re just hideous. Classic commems are nicer, but a full set is out of my price range.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also collect stamps, and I only collect commems, not regular issues, because I don&#039;t want to collect hundreds of minor varieties of Franklin/Washington issues that differ in tiny details.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps my next collection will be a type set. With that I can collect mint state coins in high grades (mostly) without having to worry about the expensive key dates (e.g. my Morgan won&#039;t be an 1895-O and my IHC won&#039;t be an 1877). Even so, I&#039;m sure the early 19th century won&#039;t be easy, and the late 18th century will be brutal! Will probably have to settle for well-circulated examples of those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
