Shorter Type Set Names

itsnotjustme

It's very apparent we need some shorter type sets names that follow a simple scheme. Then we can know what set people are talking about without using half a line to spell it out. Of course, imagine answerinbg all the new people when they ask what is "..."

Perhaps something like Start Year--Strike Type--# coins. Would people recognize these? Could people remember them? Or should I hang it up?

I will take the 1900 in Good condition, Cleaned Slightly, for $13...

That is a great thought. The names should be shorter. However combos of letters and numbers don't do it for me. First I think there should be fewer sets. I've been calling them 20'th mixed, proof or circulating strike. I haven't been talking much about gold but there are too many sets there. I like what dabigkahuna calls his complete type set: The mega big time set or something like that .

Of course calling these sets 20'th Century bothers me, but I'm not buying any coins dated 1900 so my set really is all in the 20'th Century

A majority of Typists have both the variety and non-variety sets listed, so I would just refer to them as 20th Mixed, CS, or PR, or Modern Mixed, CS, or PR.
