I added my recent purchase of a 1793 Chain America Cent to my type set in the NGC Registry (1792-1964). It was enough to jump my rank from 12th to 10th. I participate in the Registry Sets because I don't want my holdings to sit stuck away in a dark hole (a safe deposit box). Okay, so I'm a bit of a showoff. Hope these links work: Copper/Nickel/Silver http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=57236 Gold http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=57246 Rats, just noticed that I forgot to include the image of the Chain cent. I'll go back later and include it.
Most of what's missing should arguably be considered patterns, anyway, except the 1793 half cent. I'd say this set is 99.99% of the way complete, until you win the lotto.
That's pretty much why I say one more coin (the ½ cent) and that will be it unless I hit the lottery.
I've always enjoyed looking at your new purchases for your type set over the years. I took a gander through a couple pictures in your set, and I must say I really do enjoy the look of the high relief $20 Gaudens. Kanga, you're not one for toners are you?
