Lordmarcovan: where I stand with a US Basic Design Type Set (19th + 20th C.)

@russell1256, you must have missed the “X” for the “Draped Bust half dime, small eagle.” That type is harder to find than the other two.

Lord M, Mark, and John - you all have very nice type set collections. So much dedication, congratulations!

I have never looked at my U.S collection that way - don't know why, guess it's because I am a foreigner.

I collect by types - ie, colonials and early copper, bust and seated dimes, and some selected dates for quarters, halves, and dollars. 95 % is non-encapsulated (as I find them in Europe). Just a few in gold.

Have you guys ever considered doing Year Sets? i.e - as many coin types for a given year as you can put together?

 

Me either, but I looked through the 7070 list a while back and was amazed at how many holes I could fill. It's never going to be something I focus on, but I'm sure it's fun to put one together.
