<p>[QUOTE="kaparthy, post: 31306, member: 57463"]How much effort you want to devote to this is entirely a matter of your own idea of fun. One approach is to fill a Type Set with rarities. They do not need to be expensive -- often not as costly or only a little more so than commons. For instance, for the Buffalo Nickel, you could have the famous Three-Legged, or one of the 3 1/2 leggeds more recently identified, or an overdate. Mercury Dimes are not that exciting as a series, but a semi-key with split bands would be an example, or at the least a 1916-P with split bands. (On the other hand anyone can find "Mint State" Mercs from 1941-1945.) Red Book varieties are fairly easy to identify and perhaps not so easy to find and therefore add a nice dimension of "true numismatica" to a Type Set.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
