I can share what I call "the triplets". They get along together pretty darn well. All have the same assigned grade, have been submitted once for grading and are in consecutively numbered holders.
Here’s a family photo I’m proud of.
I have wanted one of the 5- coin libertad sets ever since I saw how lovely they looked in hand.
Not finding one that was a price fit for my collecting budget I decided to build one. Coin at a time. I’m still looking for one of the wooden boxes but here they are. (Quick phone photo) 😁( the tenth oz proof, lower right, is the start of the proof set)
My favorite 'family' of coins were the gold Britannia sets I had.... but they were sold. Now my 'families' are a motley crew of members that appeal to my and I adopted. We are a strange family, but lots of fun. Cheers, RickO
I recently bought a graded proof set for 1960, Linda's (my significant other) birth year. Other than my registry sets, it's about the only "family" of coins that I have that I could think of.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Pay no attention to the Dahlonega piece there, it was added to aesthetically even things out.
I love these Charlottes! So nice for the grades! I need me a Charlotte! Started collecting Lib $5 about 2 years ago. I don't think I'll ever have this many Lib $5s..

@TomB- Did your quarters come out of the same rolls of simulate albums?

They came out of US Mint Sets a few decades ago and were sent in for certification in the 1990s.
