My plan is not to include early golds and possibly a few early single year issues.

I want to plan this set to include common dates for the most part...but I want to pick dates/mints with good strikes. For example, I know the best struck Morgans were probably the 1880-S and the 1881-S. So, those would be good issues for this set because they show the coin in it's most complete form. Unfortunately, I don't know what years were the best struck for most series. So, those of you who collect and know a lot about specific designs (because I'm not an expert in most designs)...please advise me in the strike quality of your favorite design.
