What series do you collect?

  • I completed a proof Jefferson nickels set. I still look for interesting upgrades I can afford.

    I never came close to finishing anything else. I started a few, like FB Mercury dimes, but gave up. Now I am interested in working on my type set.

    I began collecting long before slabs were even dreamed of, so I've dabbled in a lot of different series. Some are just circulated, some Mint State. A few Registry sets, and some that are not.

    RAW SETS:

    Half cents, 1800-1857, VF and better, by die variety. Missing the 1802.
    Indian Head cents, 1859-1909, Good and better. Missing about a half dozen dates.
    Lincoln cents, 1909-2002. Many of the common early dates are MS, and a complete MS set from 1927-2002. Very few slabs.
    Three cent nickels, 1865-1889, circulated. Any date after 1876 (except the 1881) is tough to find
    Buffalo nickels, 1913-1938. Just the meager beginnings of a MS set. Some are slabs in a Registry set.
    Jefferson nickels, 1938-2002. Complete MS and proof set.
    Roosevelt dimes, 1946-2002. A complete MS set; just one slab!. Also have complete set of proofs.
    Washington quarters, 1965-2002. Complete MS, SMS, and proof sets
    Walking Liberty halves, 1916-1947. The pre-1934 dates are circulated. About 2/3 of the 1934-1947 coins are slabbed.
    Franklin halves, 1948-1963. Complete MS and proof sets; about half are slabbed.
    Kennedy halves, 1964-2002. Complete MS and proof, all purchased in year of issue.
    Morgan dollars, 1878-1921. Started off as a MS year set, missing coins from 1894 and 1895. A handful are slabbed.

    REGISTRY SETS (most coins are photographed):

    Proof Wheat cents, 1936-1958. Missing only the 1936 satin finish.
    Buffalo nickels, 1913-1938. Started as a MS year set; far from complete.
    Mercury dimes, 1916-1945. Lacking 11 MS coins, and the 1936 proof. I'm currently focussing on this set.
    Barber quarters, 1892-1916. A four coin set that will probably be deleted due to inactivity.
    Standing Liberty quarters, 1916-1930. Missing most of the difficult dates from 1916-1927.
    Washington quarters, 1932-1964. A complete basic set, mostly MS66. Also have all proofs except the '36, '38, & '39.
    20th Century Type
    1793-1964 Copper, Nickel, and Silver Type. One of my favorite sets, but I haven't done much with it recently. Will probably never be completed.

    Countdown to completion of my Mercury Set: 1 coin. My growing Lincoln Set: Finally completed!

    To my way of thinking, series are just duplicates in a type setimage
