Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 583747, member: 5233"]For me, I think of type sets as an example of each American coin.  So, I typically like to use business strikes because I like those examples to be uniform and all be what would have circulated.  I have never felt that proofs fit in a type set.  But, a type set is among the most individual sets one can make so I'd put in whatever you like. Here is what I did.  In my 7070, I don't have any proofs.  But, for the 1965-Present slot I put a BU clad.  The reason was, I already have a silver BU in the 1964 slot.  There really isn't any visual difference between a 90% or a 40% Kennedy...both look silver.  But, the clad coin is a different color.  Since I wanted my type set to have an example of each major US design, I felt a clad example would better reflect the changes in the coin.[/QUOTE]
