<p>[QUOTE="messydesk, post: 26065543, member: 1765"]Yes. 1878 is a popular year for this, since the date has been very well researched documented. There are some complete 8TF sets, 7TF sets, 7/8 TF sets (the easiest). There are some people doing the entire year, which is probably about 180 die pairs, 215 varieties if you count cataloged die stages excluding proofs. 78-S, 78-CC, 79-S Rev of 78, 02-O are others I know people have completed. A couple people are doing 1921 with its hundreds of die marriages [insert head spinning emoji here]. I know of one person trying to collect the entire Morgan catalog (over 5000 varieties).
