Yep, I confess... My only "complete" set so far is a DCAM proof set...

But this is my favorite Single coin of my birth year so far....

Millertime · October 9, 2008 3:53AM

The only interesting coin in my birth year is the 1972 DDO Lincoln. One day I will find a nice looking example for my Dansco 7070.

I love the 57 & 58 mint sets. Not my birth year, but I'm trying to assemble some nice sets from these two years.

UtahCoin · October 9, 2008 4:11AM

From a sealed 1952 Proof Box, Note the die polish lines on the coin.

LanLord · October 9, 2008 4:43AM

The only thing with my birth year are coprilites

BillyKingsley · October 9, 2008 4:58AM

I have not had good luck with coins from 1984. I'm still three away from the complete set, not counting proofs (which I have a suspicion I may be getting for Christmas

)

I have examples of two of the three, but they are not good and need to be replaced by better ones.

The one I don't have is a D mint Half Dollar. I have a complete set of my brother's birth year (1971) and I'm working on sets for my mom and dad (1952 and 1946 respectivly) I have now at least one example of each coin from 1952, but not both mints. For my dad I'm still missing the 46 Half and Quarter, any mint mark. I also need the D mint dime from 1946.

I'd really like to get a complete set of coins from Italy in 1900 as well, and give them to my mom. her favorite relative who isn't her kids was born in Italy in 1900.

I wonder if ChrisRx thinks the birth year 1957 means you are old and senile!!!

1972 Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 IKEs along with the 1972/72 coins are far from boring.......................

Trebor · October 9, 2008 5:38AM

Yes, 1969, but it's not my birth year.

Looking at rgCoinGuy's 1969 coins made me smile and think how I explained the age difference between my wife and myself to our daughter.

Me: See this 1969 quarter?
Daughter: Yeah, so?
Me: The year this quarter was minted I graduated from high school and your Mom turned 10 years old.
Daughter: ummm................Jeez, that's just creepy. Get away from me, cradle robber.

The truth!

Swampboy · October 9, 2008 7:44AM

Good year '57.
Hangin' around the pool all summer. Oh yeah!

Here's one from my birth year mint set. I'm currently hunting a few more pieces for that set.

Swampboy · October 9, 2008 7:50AM

<< If you have a birth year that you find boring, look to the darkside. There's over 200 other countries out there with coins from your year! >>

SLQ · October 9, 2008 7:51AM

1957 is also my birth year, but my collection is mostly from around 30 years prior to that. I do like Franklin halves though.

slinc · October 9, 2008 7:52AM

Considering I collect mostly seated and bust coinage not much from 1970 excites me.

lcoopie · October 9, 2008 8:05AM

In that case,
feel free to post 100 (or 200) years before your birth

CarlWohlforth · October 9, 2008 8:12AM

My birth year is 1956. I'm working on an uncirculated mint set in the PCGS Registry. I also have some proofs and some toners. The following Frankie is both a toner and a registry coin:

ambro51 · October 9, 2008 8:13AM

Oh Yes. 1957, my first real 'memory'. I remember my Dad holding me in his arms, outside the back door, and pointing out Sputnik, that little sattelite that the Russians put up. It was a bright point of light, and travelled from NE to SW over the sky.

Yes, I remember that.

Coins....who can forget Lib BIE rity Lib BIE rity, that silly little die break error, put that silly word in my head for decades, Now, you have that silly little word in your head too. Lib BIE rity Lib BIE rity Lib BIE rity

LeeG · October 9, 2008 8:24AM

1957 is my birth year also.

when I first joined the forum and learned about registry Set's, I started a 57 Mint and Proof Set. I've since retired both. The Mint Set is #4 All Time and the Proof Set is #6 All Time. Here are coins that were in those sets:

you know thats not a bad idea I don't think I even have anything from 1870 but putting together a type set from that year would be fun.

Kozman · October 9, 2008 12:30PM

I would like to put together a set of my birth year 1954, but it looks very costly to get all those full steppers, full bands and full bell lines.

CB2597 · October 9, 2008 12:48PM

Not my birth year but posted for those that are of this year.

Catbert · October 9, 2008 1:11PM

I just turned 49 in September. Guess I'll join the Franklin parade.

SkyMan · October 10, 2008 7:48AM

Ummm, yeah, I might buy one or two extra coins from 1958...

1958 Signature set

Here ya' go for some '57's...

1957 Mint set

lcoopie · October 10, 2008 8:17AM

I guess we don't have too many forum members
from the 20's, 30's, or 40's
who are either interested in their birth year
or have forgotten when they were born

jsf · October 10, 2008 8:29AM

I recently completed a -100 year birthset for my son, 1870, with a quarter from Rich Uhrich. It was fun working on, but now it's back to my Walkers...

DenverDave · October 10, 2008 9:20AM
