<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rlowe, post: 176461, member: 4810&quot;]Thanks for the responses guys. However, what I was looking for was more of a resource for looking up designations that are sometimes used by 3rd party grader and in other print media.</p><p><br /></p><p>I may not post here very often, but I am pretty much up to speed on what a &quot;Type&quot; designation is. It&#039;s just that, as huntsman53 stated, you could write a book on designations. That&#039;s exactly my question . Has somebody already written a book on it?, or even better is there a web site out there that addresses the topic? </p><p><br /></p><p>As far as what specific set I am studying. Well the particular coin that prompted the post was a 1976-S Eisenhower Dollar. I saw one listed on e-bay that was certified by PCGS as a Type 1, and I couldn&#039;t remember if Type 1 was the thin letter or the bold letter variety. The picture wasnt good enough to determine by looking. I wasnt really interested in buying, but it got me thinking that it would be nice if there was a quick reference that I could just put in my favorites so that I wouldn&#039;t have to try and remember. Honestly, I&#039;m pretty lazy when it comes to such things and I&#039;d rather point and click than think.</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to my personal collection, my long time obsession has been small cents, but over the last year or so I have run out of Lincolns and Indians to upgrade as I have finally completed a fully uncirculated set of Lincolns, and only have a few Indians left to upgrade.</p><p><br /></p><p>For most of this past year I have been collecting rather aimlessly with a mild focus on silver dimes. Just for fun I put together 6 sets of silver war nickels in&nbsp; each of the 6 major grades (MS, AU, EF, VF, VG, and G). It was fun to search out these relativly common coins in the full range of grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now what my 2007 obsession will be, I&#039;m not so sure yet. I&#039;m leaning towards Silver Washington Quarters, but that darn new Gold Buffalo has me drooling over my Buffalo Nickel set again. There a winter coin show over in Hot Springs in January, hopefully, something will catch my eye then it&#039;s all over with. At least that&#039;s what my wife says.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks and Merry Christmas</p><p><br /></p><p>Rlowe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
