Updates to include 10¢ -$1 on 8-4-25
I changed my collecting focus a few years ago from being nickel obsessed and added some diversity.
My focus has since been CAC approved coins for an all CAC type set, varieties (still), random 19th century, and nickels 1866-1936.
With a focus largely on CAC my grading ability has slightly improved and my appreciation for other series has increased.
Here is my humble partial type set.

I like them, especially that 2c piece!
If we were all the same, the world would be an incredibly boring place.

All really pretty coins!

Nice color on the Classic Head 1/2 Cent, and your 2-center is a real looker! Nice set so far...

Very nice set. It just proves that attractive coins do not have to break the bank.
Your humble set so far is humbling, a big like from me.
TYFS!
Love it!

My collecting “Pride & Joy” is my PCGS Registry Dansco 7070 Set:

I updated my first post to include the 10¢-$1 type set.
Here are some alternates to the type set that did not make it into the running. It was tough to pick from the nickels as there are many I thoroughly enjoy looking at. A small few have values too high to be included with the low budget theme.

My kind of coins, well done!!!!! No bust quarters yet?
They are on my wishlist, along with bust half dimes, bust dollars, etc. most of the early coinage is out of my reach currently

That is a great set!
Are the bottom two nickels Gold CAC? The Jefferson ones? Or is that just the lighting?
Great set though. I love it!

They are all green, no gold yet.

@pcgsregistrycollector
have 16 coin in for review at the moment and I am really hoping for two gold. One buffalo and one Ike, but I would be thrilled with some greens
This one glows in hand and the brown look is more subdued than the trueview shows
