When a beginner in numismatics looks for the next challenge to work on in their collection, there are many different avenues they can pursue. One popular choice is to build a coin collecting type set.
A type set is a visual collection of all the coins of a particular series of United States coins. This collection, however, isn’t necessarily a date or mintmark set, as some series have only one coin to collect per year (like the Roosevelt dime).
Building a type set gives collectors a great overview of all the different types of United States coins and helps them decide which series they want to specialize in. It also helps them figure out which coins are in their budget and which ones pique their interest.
Other types of collections are more focused on specific subjects or coins. A common example is a date set, which requires collectors to collect all the different dates in a series (like the Indian head cent). Another example is a variety set, which requires collectors to collect all different varieties of a particular coin. These are often much more expensive than a basic date or mintmark set.
Other popular types of collection include error coins, which are rare or unusual coins with a flaw that distinguishes them from other examples, and proof coins, which are specially made for collectors and have immaculate mint appearance and luster. Regardless of what a collector chooses to specialize in, there are many fun and rewarding ways for them to explore the world of numismatics and build a satisfying set of United States coins.
