[QUOTE="kanga, post: 3612103, member: 9270"]My #1 collection is my type set, but my FE & IHC collection is #2. I started it about 15-20 years ago. I wanted high grade coins and after struggling with what my personal definition of "high grade" was to be I finally decided on MS. My set has been complete for almost 5 years now. The one that completed my set an 1897 in MS-65 RB. But the next to last one was the 1856 FE. I was particular about which variety I got since I don't collect proofs. I didn't want anything graded PF. There happens to be one Snow variety that is considered NOT a proof. That's the S-3 variety that, if uncirculated, grades as MS. That's what I bought.
