[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1220597, member: 26729"]A set can be whatever YOU want to make your set into. Me, I chose to use Dansco albums, so I just accept their definition of a 'set'. You can always buy a 'blank' album and fill it with pages for the denomination your are working on and place whatever you like in there. I am thinking about doing that with my Jefferson nickels now that the Dansco set is complete. The Dansco albums (like most others) left out a few spaces that could be filled to make a comprehensive set. Such as holes for the 2005-2010 Satins, 1994 Matte, 1997 Matte, 39 T2s, SMS sets, and 81 T2. IMO, double dies, overdates, and errors do not belong in a set. To me, they are just substandard coins. Your opinion may vary, so that is why you build it your way. Some folks, especially earlier in the hobby, only collected year sets, with no regard for mint mark. That is another option. My ASE set is a mix of Dansco and custom, as I made holes for the Burnished releases and a hole for the 07/08 variety, which is more of a must have than an error or poorly prepared die.[/QUOTE]
