[QUOTE="kanga, post: 24575507, member: 9270"]I have been working on my US Type Set for years (15 or 20). Not surprisingly my thinking has changed over that time. Here are my current rules: 1. The coins must have been struck by the US Mint [B]OR[/B] under a contract with the US Government (such as the Fugio Cent). 2. The coins will be limited to business strikes; no proofs or commemoratives. 3. The date range will be from 1787 (the Fugio Cent) through the end of 90% silver coins (1964). 4. My Type Set will be composed of the highest grades I have of any particular type, not the most valuable for that particular type. 5. All coins will be slabbed by either PCGS or NGC with occasional exceptions. 6. The basis for types will be [I]A Guide Book of United States Coins[/I] (the Red Book) with possible additions/deletions as I see fit. (Gold coins with designs created before 1834 are not currently included in my Type Set – too expensive.) COMMENTS (What did I leave out?)[/QUOTE]
