Just a thought.......type set related

Cladiator

I've seen and heard of countless 20th Century Type sets. I know many strive at the complete U.S. Type Set. However, I've never heard of or seen a 19th Century Type Set. There is no registry set for one either. Any thoughts...?

Hoot

USA Type Set.

Hoot,

I'm not an NGC member and can't log in to see what that set actually is....what is a NGC "USA Type Set"?

Looks like this set is essentially *all* non-gold U.S. type from 1793 to the present.

Cladiator

Yeah that NGC set is nice but not what I'm talking about. It includes 18th Century coins that are totally out of reach for many collectors financially. I worked out what a 19th Century Basic Type set without gold would be and it's 31 coins...pretty cool coins too.

Do a 19th cent set. Don't need PCGS or NGC approval.

Cladiator

Yeah I'm mulling the idea over. There are actually 33 coins. The only ones that would be really expensive are the 4 Draped Bust coins, but not unatainably expensive.

Cladiator

Here is what I came up with...remember its a Basic set;

Draped Bust ½¢
Classic Head ½¢
Braided Hair ½¢
Draped Bust 1¢
Classic Head 1¢
Coronet Head 1¢
Flying Eagle 1¢
Indian Head 1¢
Shield 2¢
Nickel 3¢
Silver 3¢
Shield 5¢
V 5¢
Draped Bust 5¢
Capped Bust 5¢
Seated 5¢
Draped Bust 10¢
Capped Bust 10¢
Seated 10¢
Barber 10¢
Seated 20¢
Draped Bust 25¢
Capped Bust 25¢
Seated 25¢
Barber 25¢
Draped Bust 50¢
Capped Bust 50¢
Seated 50¢
Barber 50¢
Draped Bust 1$
Seated 1$
Trade 1$
Morgan 1$

Cladiator:: Your type set can contain anything you want. You have listed what you consider a basic 19th Century type set. That would make a nice set.

I completed a type set some time back and added to what you have listed. I used the Kingswood Capital holders which have 58 holes for the 19th century set. I also added 8 more for a total of 66 types. I also added the gold types from 1834-1900 (also Kingswood) which added another 14 coins to my type set.

Make your type set to please YOU and you won't be dissapointed.

Here is my old 89-coin 19th and 20th century nongold type set (1798-2000) that I assembled in the pre-Registry days. I included pretty much anything that the Red Book considered a separate type. I copied the list from my old "Virtual Type Set" that some of you may remember from a few years back. Don't bother with the picture links- they no longer work.

The Seated Liberty subset from this collection (including the 20c piece and Trade dollar) is still intact and in the hands of another forum member.

It was a fun set to assemble, and probably represents the purest "collector" stage in my development as a numismatist.

I went with proof coins where I could, but that's a matter of personal preference. Some folks don't like mixing proofs and business strikes but I like the flash of proofs and bought them when possible. To me a proof coin represents the best possible example of a particular design, and that of course is one of the whole ideas behind type collecting- you don't have to worry about key dates but you wanna buy the best you can afford. For me at the time, anything over $100 was a stretch, and I needed layaways to buy the ones over $200. But I did it, Draped coins and all. Each coin in the original set cost me less than 500 bucks. Maybe I paid $550 for the Bust dollar. (When I compiled this list during my Registry period, I had upgraded some like the Barber half). I was working a much lower-paying job when I started the set, so some of the coins required some considerable sacrifice and saving on my part. It was worth it, though.
