<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 25978652, member: 104064"]The same is true of the Barber coins. The dimes have two obverse types and three reverse types. The quarters have three obverse types and three reverse types. The halves have two obverse types and two reverse types. Some of these were documented and published in BCCS within the past five years. So if you want to collect the <i>actual </i>Barber coin hub type set, that's a lot of coins. Then if you want to collect all the transition variety combinations across mints, for 1900-dated quarters alone you'll need 15 coins. For the Barber dimes 1899-1905, you'll need 21 coins. The more knowledgeable and esoteric you get, the more fun it is. If that's how you define "fun." If you want to collect Canadian 1858 large cent die varieties, there are hundreds and a two volume set of books covering them. 466 pages worth! There are insane collectors who actually do this set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
