<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2886884, member: 19463"]Before you get a complete set of some you may figure out that there is a lot more to it than just mints. For example, the commemoratives come in a heavy series that were issued with the two soldiers, two standards coins and the light series with the one standard issues. The killer is the FEL TEMP's. The falling horsemen are available in 2200 versions by one count. There are not as many of the other types but those 15 mints can lead you to getting carried away.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a page on falling horsemen</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fh.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fh.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fh.html</a></p><p>and another on the FTR's in general.</p><p><a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/ftr.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/ftr.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/ftr.html</a></p><p>Both pages embarrass me since I have twice as many coins to choose from as I did then and really should update them.</p><p><br /></p><p>At the very least you might want the 15 mints and a set of the four major</p><p>FH types, a coin of each ruler that issued the type, a size series and who knows what else.

[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2886884, member: 19463"]Before you get a complete set of some you may figure out that there is a lot more to it than just mints. For example, the commemoratives come in a heavy series that were issued with the two soldiers, two standards coins and the light series with the one standard issues. The killer is the FEL TEMP's. The falling horsemen are available in 2200 versions by one count. There are not as many of the other types but those 15 mints can lead you to getting carried away. I have a page on falling horsemen [url]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/fh.html[/url] and another on the FTR's in general. [url]http://www.forumancientcoins.com/dougsmith/ftr.html[/url] Both pages embarrass me since I have twice as many coins to choose from as I did then and really should update them. At the very least you might want the 15 mints and a set of the four major FH types, a coin of each ruler that issued the type, a size series and who knows what else. Then we do each of the other types in a similar way and we could have at least as many coins in the FTR book as you have in Lincoln cents.[/QUOTE]
