<p>[QUOTE=&quot;tradernick, post: 31348, member: 648&quot;]Robin I think a type set is the most fun (and challenging) and educational (and frustratingly fantastic) sets that a collector can assemble.&nbsp; In many ways, it&#039;s the perfect collection.&nbsp; You get to learn about every series of U.S. coinage.&nbsp; You learn how to grade them, which dates are better than others, what to look for to detect cleaned/altered/damaged or counterfeits, etc.&nbsp; And the best thing about a type set is that you&#039;re never really finished.&nbsp; Even after the holes are filled you can always look for upgrades!&nbsp; Somewhere along the way you&#039;re sure to find a coin type that really sings your name...something that really grabs you...and voila, there&#039;s the makings of your next set.&nbsp; Some of the greatest collectors ever got started with a type set!</p><p>I wish you all the best in your hunt.&nbsp; Remember that like life itself, the fun is in the journey, not just the destination.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Hah, that last sentence reads just like one of my books on Taoism <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Nick[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
