<p>[QUOTE="treylxapi47, post: 1726352, member: 41863"]No I originally did not allow for any commemorative in my type set, but thats the beauty of a type set, you can evolve it to whatever you would like. A type set to me represents the major types of coins that were produced along with some key varieties in the mix. For example, I am looking for a 'CENTS' and 'NO CENTS' Liberty nickel, or a Type 1 and Type 2 Buffalo nickel. So in essence its all of the major coins without really overlapping, kind of a 'one of everything' type deal. So I originally didnt include the Commem halves in it, but based off my definition of what a type set means to me, I can add them to my set as they are completely different than any other coin already in my set. I do not intend to include all of the commemoratives, but if I can scoop one up rather cheap and it looks good and fits my criteria, then into the set she goes (both of the 2 commems i already have were a steal at $80 each for MS-64s). </p><p><br /></p><p>As for gold, I think most people look at that as an add-on option after completing the body of their type set, which will likely go for me as well.
