<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kanga, post: 24567071, member: 9270&quot;]Because I&#039;m getting old (81) and my memory is starting to fail me, I&#039;m going to make a serious effort to image/document my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>First, since a Type Set is not strictly defined, it can be composed of whatever a collector chooses.</p><p>Here&#039;s my <u>personal</u> guidelines:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. The coins were produced <b>by</b> the US Mint for use in daily commerce.</p><p>EXCEPTION: 1787 Fugio cents which were produced <b>for </b>the US Government <b>under</b> a contract (the US Mint didn&#039;t yet exist).</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Colonial and Post-Colonial coins are <b>not</b> included.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. Commemorative coins are <b>not </b>included (not intended for use in daily commerce).</p><p><br /></p><p>4. 1964 is my personal ending date (no 90% circulating coins struck after that).</p><p><br /></p><p>5. Proof-only coins <b>not</b> included (that saves me from having to get a Stella; couldn&#039;t afford it anyway).</p><p><br /></p><p>6. Gobrecht dollars are <b>not</b> included.</p><p><br /></p><p>7. Gold coins designed before 1834 are <b>not</b> included (another cop-out by me since couldn&#039;t afford them either).</p><p><br /></p><p>8. 1964 is my ending date (no 90% silver circulating coins struck after that).</p><p><br /></p><p>My guideline for what to include is the Red Book.</p><p>I get whatever date/mintmark is the least expensive for the issue.</p><p>Since that&#039;s only one coin per type, it allows me to get a better grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>Based on the above I am two coins from being complete.</p><p>I don&#039;t anticipate ever getting those two coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t know if I covered all my rules, but you get the idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
