<p>[QUOTE=&quot;softmentor, post: 1833310, member: 10469&quot;]type setters? .... hmmm someone messed up the typesetting on a coin? so this is an error coin thread?? lol</p><p>I used to ignore typesets as a mater of course. &quot;Why would you want to do that?&quot; I though. But something &quot;clicked&quot; in me about 3 years ago and started my first type set album. I quickly became frustrated with the constraints of someone else&#039;s choice for what should be in a type set, so started my own.</p><p>So my second step was all current issue coins. That quickly got bogged down with the series coins (quarter and dollars)</p><p>so I worked on 20th century for a while. (third set)</p><p>I finally let go of the 20&#039;th century and it became an &quot;interesting / history / story coins set&quot; set: the fourth iteration: v.4.0. This is now in 2 parts, one more type oriented the other more interesting story oriented. v.4.2</p><p>I took that one a step further and though I&#039;d start doing the most common year for each type: v.5+. Really more like v.4.2.2&nbsp; Rather like that one, as it has the benefit of being more affordable too, while adding a dimension of study and research to the pursuit It gives the set an unusual additional distinction: most common instead of most rare. Add a bit of history and economics as to why that year had the highest mintage, adds a bit of interest.</p><p>Starting to get the itch to start v.5... all Denver mint set with &quot;sample&quot; series coins .... hmmmmmm..... : )&nbsp; So many mints, (D, S, P, CC, O, OO, W, ...) so little time.</p><p>So, I still do my roll searching, because it&#039;s relaxing and I just like it. But I occasionally take the proceeds of my roll finds and pick up a type or two.</p><p>It&#039;s just the&nbsp; - type -&nbsp; of guy I am. : )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
