A 1907 type coin collection would be very interesting.

Total of 11 coins.
2- $20, 2- $10, $5, $2.5 = 6 coins.
cent-half = 5 coins.

Yes it would be. It would have three $20's if you want to include the HR as a type.
My goal is to eventually build one, and a 1908

I agree it would make for a nice collection, but off the top of my greying head I can think of several other dates which would consist of more coins.
1879...14 or 15 if you count $4 gold...
1866....15 or maybe 16...sure there are others...maybe 1875/76 with both 20c pcs and Trade $....you get my drift.
But then what about the wire edge and rolled edge $10 Inds?
1873 has a ton for a type set.

I meant to say the 20th century.
You're no fun HAHAHAHA
It would be an impressive collection. Suitable for a Capital Plastics type custom frame.....both side visible.
I believe 1883 is the king year set.
Four different $1 coins, not including mintmarks.
Three different nickels, not including many varieties.
All the golds, obsolete types, interesting branch mints, patterns galore.
And the nice thing is that most of it is obtainable by mid-tier collectors.

1909 is great for a type set - you have the 1c Indian, 1c Lincoln VDB, and 1c Lincoln. no $1 coin though.
1857 is another cool year because you have the 1/2c, large 1c, and 1c FE. Plus you have C, D, O, S branch mints.
1873 is a real challenge if you count all the proof-only coins. You have 1c, 2c, 3cs, 3cn, half-dime, 5c nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar, S$1, T$1, and all the gold - then you have arrows and without arrows for the silver. Plus if you want to be really bold you can get the closed 3 and open 3.
