[QUOTE="thecointrader, post: 1482176, member: 6477"]My Type Set consists of numerous 'sub-sets'... Each of these 'sets-within-a-set' contain coins with 'something special' about them...

Collection will include one of each major copper, nickel and silver coin type from 1800 through the time Louis Eliasberg completed his great collection in the 1950s, with every coin attributed to the Eliasberg pedigree.

For modern issues minted after Mr. Eliasberg completed his collection in the 1950s, and older issues for which I have yet to acquire an Eliasberg, Sr. pedigree, I have chosen to include coins pedigreed to his son, Louis Eliasberg, Jr., to further expand the theme of this "Eliasberg Reunited Collection".
