<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 25978526, member: 13650&quot;]As someone who has been working on the US Type Including moderns registry set for 16 years, which is now up to 136 slots to chase (73% complete), I&#039;d argue a 7070 set is too basic while someone else may feel this set doesn&#039;t cover enough.&nbsp; There&#039;s a handful that are all but unobtainable but that&#039;s fine to me.&nbsp;&nbsp; I like adding in the modern anniversary coins to go along with my types.&nbsp;&nbsp; I haven&#039;t added any capped bust halves yet.&nbsp; Maybe I&#039;ll pursue them in 2025.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; In the end there are A LOT of seated liberty types.&nbsp; If somebody didn&#039;t want to have to collect that many I could understand but the series is broad and encompassses several denominations.&nbsp;&nbsp; There are three SLQs types, three silver 3 cent piece types, two types of V nickels.&nbsp; This registry set I feel does a good job accounting for the major stuff and is enjoyable to look at online for me.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve learned a lot working on it and it has stayed interesting.&nbsp; Eventually, you bog down and everything is pretty tough at the end except for newer moderns.&nbsp;&nbsp; It doesn&#039;t mean you&#039;re done, it just means progress slows.&nbsp;&nbsp; This brings me to part two of my thinking.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; While this has been my main focus I allow myself what I consider side pursuits like you say.&nbsp; &nbsp; Chasing shiny objects occasionally.&nbsp; &nbsp; I decided to restart the basic Franklin half set just because they&#039;re so nice and really easy to obtain great examples.&nbsp; &nbsp; One day I realized I had quite a few Morgans so I started a morgan set too.&nbsp; It&#039;s at 22%.&nbsp;&nbsp; I usually pick up a few a year to add to it as something stands out to me.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; As I keep typing I realize I&#039;m in the same boat as you and probably shouldn&#039;t be giving advice.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
