Well now that I'm employed I've decided to start a completely new coin set for me

I'm gonna do a 20th Century Type Set. First coin will be the Frankie cause it's my ladies favorite coin

This is gonna be a fun one!

Cool! Are you going to consider the Sacagawea as part of the 20th century? Personally, I would -- don't know how others feel.

Cladiator · April 27, 2004 1:20PM

No Sac $, I'm going by the set composition for the pcgs registry set and its not included (good thing cause i dont like em)

I would not talk so much trash regarding the Sacagawea. Compared to the SBA, it's friggin beautiful.

I like the reverse of the SAC but the obverse seems to be looking right at me. The SAC looks great in proof DCAM.

You didn't mention, so I'll ask:

Is your set circ strikes or proofs or both? (or neither

)

Is there a target grade that you had in mind? For myself, for example, I'm aiming for the following:

FBL MS64 or higher (PCGS or NGC) (no toning)
non-FBL MS65 or higher (no toning)

My favorite aspects of Franklins are that it's pretty easy to complete the set as there are no tough key dates and the coin had a short run.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of SBA's either...at least I'll only need 1

<< Is your set circ strikes or proofs or both? >>

Just circulation strikes. (maybe proofs when I'm done with the MS coins)

<< Is there a target grade that you had in mind? >>

Only target I have is the best grade I can afford at the time I'm ready to purchase one.

nothing better than a type set, imo

I started a 20th century not too long ago, it is a fun set to put together.

Good luck!

The Sac is ugly, but the Franklin is beautiful, now that's funny.

I recently started an "El Cheap-O Type Set"

20th Century Major Design, No Gold, Registry Set... I'm #42 current finest at the moment, I believe... haven't check recently, and I'm only 45% complete currently... though i still have some of the harder, and more expensive, coins to get for the set... like the IHC, V Nickel, Type 1 and 2 Buffalo, Type 1 SLQ, High-Relief Peace, Barber Dime, Quarter and Half... tryin to find them already slabbed in lower (AKA Cheaper

) grades... but that is proving difficult... also lookin for a nice VF30 Morgan for the set... but that's turning out to be hard...

And I only have a couple dates to choose from the Morgans... 1900-1904 and 1921... will probally end up with an '04-O or '21...
