It is interesting to me because it covers several series and therefore makes for a greater variety of subjects and a greater depth of things to study. Collecting by type allows me to look at how historic events affected the US Mint as an entity. The Great Depression affected coinage to the point where several series weren&#039;t minted in given years. </p><p><br /></p><p>1921 is probably my favorite year. Many key date coins were minted in 1921, but it&#039;s not the only interesting year. The WWII years (1942-1946) are also a time of change to coinage in both design and materials and there are many other examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>One of my long term goals is to assemble a 20th century type set made up of key dates. Since I am an average Joe with a family and a kid in college, this is quite an ambitious goal but onward toward it I go![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
