<p>[QUOTE=&quot;flintcreek6412, post: 1861063, member: 61025&quot;]That&#039;s awesome.&nbsp;&nbsp; I love type sets and am working on a 7070 type set.&nbsp;&nbsp; I love type sets for the same reason, the history of the coin and all the different kinds.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I love is how history ties into the practicality of lots of coins.&nbsp; I love the 2,3 and 20 cent pieces along with 1/2 cents, 1/2 dimes and large cents just because they are unusual to most people.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look up the history of the 3 cent silver and how it was related to the California gold rush and also the price of the stamp in the day.&nbsp; Very interesting stuff.&nbsp; All note that the 2 cent piece was the first coin to actually bear &quot;In God We Trust&quot;.&nbsp; Most think it&#039;s been around forever and fewer know that Teddy Roosevelt tried to get rid of it as I recall.</p><p><br /></p><p>And finally the wartime money.&nbsp; The change in metals of the penny and nickel as they were needed for wartime production so steel and silver were used.&nbsp;&nbsp; All of that makes type sets the best collection in my opinion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Congrats on your set and keep up the good work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
