assemble collection comprised of a complete set of one of each coin [regular circulation strike] it ever produced?
For circulation strikes the hardest would have to be Philly [for obvious reasons]. The easiest would have to be????????????????? ............ Denver?
What say you?

The 1964-d peace dollar might be a stopper for denver

<< <i>Not Charlotte since the 1849-C Open Wreath gold dollar is extremely rare---only 4 known. >>
Personally, I'd consider that more of a variety than a regular issue...I'd get a closed wreath and call it a day
One stopper though, the 2000-W Sac $.

<< <i>I would think W (West Point) would be the easiest as it's just a bunch of moderns. Wouldn't be cheap though as some of it is expensive bullion... not sure you'd count anything they have minted as circulation strikes though... maybe just the 1996-W Roosevelt Dime? >>

Philadelphia would run a close second, on account of the 1849 double eagle and the 1793 strawberry leaf cent (3 known?)
Though I am not certain, Manila (remember them?) may be technically the easiest, but would prove difficult in some aspects.

It's a major variety but I can understand not including it in your collection.

The first one is a pattern and second one is a variety so you wouldn't really need them for a complete mint collection.
