LM comes out of left field with another type set idea...

Why not offer mini-sets by denomination? Has anybody already suggested this? Probably. Now the 20-cent piece would make for a rather short type set (one coin), but you could have it as part of an odd-denomination set instead (2c/3c/20c). There is already a small set for Morgan dollars from the various mints, I believe- why not denominational type sets?

    Neat idea.

    And I still want my SMS set--three years, 15 coins, easily achieveable in MS66/67 for a moderate budget collector, lots of room for high rollers with high grade MS68 and CAM/DCAM coins, plenty of profit potential for PCGS as these are pre-1970 $15 a pop coins.

    You're both right. I hope somebody listens.

    The SMS set is a good idea.

    I wonder if my denomination set idea, ridiculously simple as it is, ever occurred to anyone...

    Well, now. Judging from the overwhelming response, I'd say my idea just lit up like a 3-watt bulb. Yawn.

    Maybe everybody got tired of type set discussion last month. Overpolled, perhaps?

    Here's an idea: I could threaten to start another poll if nobody else responds... image

    LM,

    I've had this same thought, and think that it's a great idea!

    I'm ready and waitin' with a nice quarter type set(Seated, Barber, Standin', Isabella, Washington, etc.)! image

    Let's take a poll! imageimage

    How about a Pre 20th century type set?

    TDN,

    There is a Complete Type Set that covers 1792-1964, avoiding the majority of the modern coins. 25 of the 134 required pieces are exclusive to the 20th Century. The rest are pre-20th or crossovers like Barbers. And of the 25 20th Century pieces, 9 are gold and the others are non-gold.

    I know, how about a complete set (not type). It could be a place to register each of your registry sets.
