Type Collectors -- Are You Ready For The New Sets??

There were several composition tweaks, either adding coins, narrowing dates, etc.. Have you made the changes necesary for the arena you will compete in?
I snagged a 1994 SMS Jefferson nickel in MS-69FS and bought a 1979-S SBA in MS-66 last week so that I could play in the With Varieties 1900-1999 MS Only Set, and went ahead and bought a 1999 State Quarter Silver Proof so that I could register my 20th Century Major Types Combined Set as 100%. Then, over the weekend, I went ahead and removed my 2000 and 2001 dated coins and put in the certificate numbers for the pre-2000 coins that needed to be changed.

I bought a Silver Quarter and also bought Cosmic's '94 SMS Jeff (thanks Bill). I will need more types of SBAs and the AH Kennedy if I understand things correctly. That is in the 20'th PR/MS with varieties set. I think we need to come up with some nicknames that are short but accurately describe which type set we are talking about
I'm so excited about the new lineups that I'm almost wetting my pants. When will we start to see them emerging? BTW, do we know yet whether the narrow rim SBA in the 20th Century Combined set can be satisfied with a 79 proof? Don't own a cs or proof 79 SBA yet, but would rather buy the proof.

SLQ doesn't have the sharpest strike, but has slightly better shield rivet detail than many I have seen. The two bad rivets have a little detail based on the scan my dealer sent me, so I think that I will be happy with it. I had a MS-62 No Head in that slot, with no rivet detail in the traditionally weak area. I'll try to link a scan in a minute.
Greg,
I don't know if the 1979 proof will satisfy that slot. BJ said on another thread that the new sets are in progress and that she expects to be done by Wednesday, but that we will be able to see the changes as they occur. So if she gets done with one area sooner, the set will be ready to go.

Photos a little large since I don';t have access to an image editor here at work. Can't wait to get this one in hand.

p.s. I have 3 of my additional coins in hand, one just purchased. Grades are
Cent 66RD
Dime 67
Quarter 66
Half 66FBL
Will not be reactivating my 1950-present set and will just let it fade off the page. Some of the best coins in that set have now been placed in other sets competing in the category, and most went on E-Bay to fund those gold purchases for the 20th Century Set.

Speaking of "delete" buttons, my 1900-Present set just went the way of the dinosaurs. Poof.

They're both really nice, but I suspect his has the luster...

Psst- what did you pay for her, if you don't mind my asking? (You can PM me if you don't wanna make it public). Mine set me back $550, about a year ago... maybe a little longer...

and Im sure theres a few type ones.
