Type Set Checklists
In coin collecting, a type set is a curated collection that includes one example of each major design or ‘type coin’ rather than collecting every date and mint mark. It’s a fun and rewarding way to explore the history of U.S. coinage without the overwhelming challenge (and cost) of completing full series. Numismatic collectors build type sets to appreciate the evolution of designs, metal compositions, and minting technology. It’s like watching U.S. history unfold through the changes in our coinage.

Specific and special variants made for otherwise common coinage.Building a type set encourages learning about rare transitions, short-lived issues, and design changes you might otherwise overlook. It’s also a more approachable goal for new collectors who want variety without needing to chase dozens of mint mark / date combinations.
