Technically, any design change constitutes a different type.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The word &quot;technically&quot; is important. Any set is what you want it to be. The collector is free to &quot;split hairs&quot; or not. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For instance, consider seated liberty 25c. After 1866, they have the motto &quot;IN GOD WE TRUST&quot;; before 1866, no motto. In 1853, they have arrows and rays. In 1854, only arrows. In 1873, arrows again.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Does one&#039;s type set have all those different types ? To be totally complete and rigorous, yes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But that doesn&#039;t mean you or I have to do that.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A type is an intentional, formal design change by the mint - commonly with Congressional consent. That is different from die varieties (Sheldon numbers for Large Cents, VAMs for Morgans and Peace, etc.) Those are NOT different types. They are varieties within a given issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
