A twist on my Type Set

in U.S. Coin Forum

For my PCGS Tye Set, modern coins tend to be common and boring so I am trying something different. My modem series coins are all varieties. This speared bison, Kennedy Half is no FG, Roosevelt dime is no "P", Lincoln Shield is VDB-"V", Presidential Dollars are missing edge lettering, Sacagawea is the Wounded Eagle, State Quarters are the WI Extra Leaf High.

    Sounds familiar, except for the "extra V" Lincoln Cent 🤔.

    Great idea! I wonder if we could have our host make up a couple of these "special" sets? I also would like to know what's a V VDB coin?

    You only live life once, enjoy it like it's your last day. It just MIGHT be!

    It’s a ‘controversial’ V that is struck just to the right of the VDB on the 2023 cent. It’s listed as a VDB V

    Good way to keep it interesting and a bit challenging.

    I'm assuming all your type coins are slabbed?

    Okay, thanks. I'm an album guy. I like your idea of modern variety types. I made a custom page of moderns types for the back of my 7070.

    Cheerio Dollar and wounded eagle for Sacagawea Dollars. Extra leaf Wisconsin, and spitting horse Delaware Quarters are my favorite modern varieties.

    I went with high leaf WI for the state quarters, do not have a cheerio dollar, outside of my budget

    Nice way to set it apart from the rest and make it a bit more challenging.

    I have thoughts on a couple of them.

    The 2009 Formative Years cents present a number of striking doubled die reverses in which Lincoln’s left hand appears to have two thumbs. There are 8 separate DDRs listed for the issue in the Cherrypickers Guide. My favorite two are the FS-803 and FS-804.




    For the silver Rosies, 1946 has a couple strong DDOs that I like.

    The FS-102/804 (it’s a DDO & DDR)

    And the FS-104

    As an almost lifelong type collector, driving up the cost with esoteric die varieties is one thing I tried to avoid. Getting all of the types from 1793 to about 1985 was hard enough.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    You might be right, but I can't stop now!

    I am having second thoughts on my PCGS Type Set modern coins being a variety type instead of the regular coin. A dealer friend said it would distract from the set any thoughts?

    I don't know if it would detract from the set, although I would exercise caution paying significant premiums over the base type coin in high grades. With newly discovered varieties, you never really know how many are out there, and once the floodgates open it becomes a race to the bottom. On the flip side, when looking at the "price changes" section of coin facts, the majority of "gainers" tend to be varieties, so I guess some prove to be quite difficult to find after all.
