[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3595222, member: 27832"]Do you mean 1921 [I]and[/I] 1922, or do you mean you're trying to decide which year to do? Starting from the top: $20 gold -- available for both years, but the 1921 is a five-figure coin even in the lowest grades, and six figures in MS. 1922 is common. $10, $5, $2.50 gold -- neither year $1 gold -- 1922 had the Grant $1 in two major varieties (with and without star), 1921 had none $1 silver -- 1921 had the last Morgans and the first Peace, with the Peace in high relief; 1922 had the Peace in low relief, but there are a few high-relief specimens known if you're [I]very[/I] (financially) ambitious 50 cent (Walker) -- in 1921, all three mints, with S semi-key and P and D key dates; none in 1922 50 cent (commemorative) -- in 1921, Alabama, Missouri, and Pilgrim, the first two each having two major varieties; in 1922, Grant, again in two varieties, and the with-star variety is quite scarce 25 cent -- 1921 only 10 cent -- 1921 only, semi-key from either P or D mint 5 cent -- 1921 only; S is a key 1 cent -- 1921 and 1922, 1922 has the "no D" variety if you want to show off :) Unless you go all out on commems, either year will be skimpy. As a kid, I thought of year sets as non-gold circulating coinage only, and was always a bit sad for the folks born in 1922 who'd have only a cent and a dollar for their birth year.[/QUOTE]
