<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bluenose, post: 357255, member: 13428&quot;]I&#039;m confused about some terminology. I understand coin types and type sets, but what is a type coin? I thought all coins were, by definition, a type of some denomination set? However, for example, I read the sentence, &quot;People like to collect buffalo nickels and type coins.&quot; A buffalo nickel is a type of five-cent nickel so what does the sentence mean by &quot;type coin&quot;? There is even a Red Book guide to U.S. Type Coins along with the Red Book guides for Morgan dollars, Washington quarters, etc. Could someone please explain?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
