[QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 2827623, member: 56842"][B]Question[/B]: What is the [I]minimum [/I]number of "types" to collect for a fair representation of all Liberty Seated reverses (including mint mark variants)? I'll try to explain my thoughts, and hopefully it makes sense to someone else. I'm attempting a poor man's U.S. Type Set and already have a Liberty Seated half (1876-s, no arrows, motto) and a Liberty Seated quarter (1853 "arrows & rays", no mint mark). [SIZE=2](Note: I realize that the arrows are on the [I]obverse[/I], but I wanted an "arrows at the date" and a "non-arrows" variety, so for my purposes, that is also a factor).[/SIZE] The design has always intrigued me, and since I'm kind of stuck at the moment in my Type Set challenge, I thought maybe I'd expand by going back to Liberty Seated coins. [B]I think I'd need (at [I]minimum[/I]) the following "sub-types": - No Motto - "O" mint mark - "CC" mint mark[/B] Agree? Disagree? I don't care about "drapery vs non-drapery" or "small date vs. large date". At least not yet. (Those differences aren't "major" enough for me to want one).[/QUOTE]
