Does anyone else do date sets that really have no personal meaning?

For example... Although irrelevant to the actual birth years of certain family members I'm more drawn to coinage coined exactly 100 or 200 years prior.

    I'm working on a date set of broadstruck coins in old ANACS holders. It seems very random but that's part of the fun.

    I have goals of a few dates that have some interesting history behind them...but no personal connection.

    Not really looking for much these days but if I were, it might be a toner. :smile:

    I'd really like to do a 1875 date set someday. It's 100 years before my birth year. It would be a challenge to get ones I liked for the price.

    That means, should you collect for 100 years, you will then own all coins in the past two hundred years.

    Way to go and hope you live long enough!!

    You are lucky, 1875 is one of the easiest years for higher grade seated coins + you get a trade dollar and no morgan or seated $.
    Try 1863 in high grade.......

    I'm working on a Mint set of 1853 just because it's so diverse. Not sure if I'll do the gold and some of the no arrows coins are hard to find.

    Would do a 1921 date set had I the financial means to do so. All branch mints through one dollar. Had I really extravagant money to blow, include gold.
    We're all born MS70. I'm about a Fine 15 right now.

    I did a 1909 Mint Set for no particular reason image And although I do feel like I'm getting old sometimes, that's not even close to my birthyear image
