[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 24575559, member: 36248"]I could copy-paste your post near word for word: I have been working on my US Type Set for years (15 or so years). 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). [B]agree 100%[/B] 2. The coins will be limited to business strikes; no proofs or commemoratives. [B]agree 99% (I think it's good practice to include a single Classic Silver Commemorative) Mine is the York, Maine since I am from Maine.[/B] 3. The date range will be from 1787 (the Fugio Cent) through the end of 90% silver coins (1964). [B]Mostly agree, but I push this a bit, for instance Ike Dollars and SBA are included.[/B] 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. [B]I pick the coin I "like" the most, which is often the highest grade AND the most valuable example I have.[/B] 5. All coins will be slabbed by either PCGS or NGC. [B]agree 100% 6. I also require a CAC coin when it's a stickered type. 7. I also try to limit myself to $50-$300 per coin. See here: [URL]https://www.geekprydecoins.com/TypeSet/[/URL] [/B][/QUOTE]
