<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2409282, member: 73165&quot;]CRH is a great way to learn about coins!&nbsp; I didn&#039;t exactly do that, but I collected from change as a kid, and I learned a good amount doing it.</p><p><br /></p><p>A type set is when you acquire one of each &quot;major&quot; variety of coin.&nbsp; Specifically, a US type set would have one of each major variety of each series of each denomination.&nbsp; So, for example, you&#039;d have a 1921 High Relief Peace dollar, any post-1921 Peace dollar, a Morgan dollar, an Ike, an SBA, and a Sacajawea dollar to cover your 20th century dollar denominations.&nbsp; Going further back, you&#039;d have your with motto and no motto Seated dollars, and then the major varieties of early Bust dollars (which I won&#039;t list because I don&#039;t know what they are off the top of my head, lol).</p><p><br /></p><p>Similarly, a type set of classic commemorative halves would contain one of each design of classic commemorative half dollar.&nbsp; So, you wouldn&#039;t have 10+ Booker T. Washingtons or Washington Carvers, for instance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Probably the best thing about a type set is that you get to define what goes into it.&nbsp; You can go with Dansco&#039;s definition and use the 7070 album, or use NGC&#039;s definition, or come up with your own entirely.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
