<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 2118823, member: 26302"]I like Type sets for US collecting since it free you of the terror of date/mm collecting. Plus its just more interesting. At least new addition looks different, not something as trivial as "look, this looks identical in every way to 3 other coins I own except there is a tiny O under the eagle instead of a tiny S, CC, or nothing. Isn't that SO UNUSUAL"?</p><p> </p><p>I will reiterate what Frank said, "it is what you say it is". Shouldn't ALL collecting be like that? That is why I hate Danscos, someone ELSE has determined what I should collect. To heck with that, my collection is what I want to collect, end of story. If I wanted to do a half dollar type set do you really think I would buy ANY Kennedy halves? Heck no, I find them pedestrian and ill designed coins. I have a bunch in my junk silver pile, but I would not "collect" them. I know many others like them, great, good for them. That is my point, others can collect what they want, but its MY collection, so I will say what is included.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
