Since teamwork made this set happen, and deep pockets can only afford this set, why not make a virtual set?
Lets do it right here on this thread.
I would have to believe that out of all the CCF members, this set exists.
How about we start posting what we have in our collections to make this set a reality on the CCF website.

Whats funny is I only have a 1916 Merc Dime with a hole in it for a necklace.

Great idea. Let's start with the large cents of 1793 and work our way down the list. Multiples of each type are most welcome. So, if you have one let's see it. This is going to be fun.

February 21 - 1793 Wreath, Chain,& Liberty Cap cents
February 22 - 1839 Matron Head & Braided Hair large cents

For the 1839 cents, there would be the silly head, booby head, matron head, and petite head.

Not unachievable, as only the petite head is slightly uncommon.

Since both flying eagle and large cents were also struck in 1856, would this year be included as well, along with the 1857?

Some of these are very tough, if downright impossible (example 1913 nickel). Once we start posting pictures, I'm assuming all coins count owned or not?

I would suggest owned by the poster. (IMO, anyone can copy and paste from the internet...)

This should be fun!!

Thanks, I missed that one.

The silly head, booby head, and petite head are varieties of the matron head type so, yes they would be included.

The 1856 Flying Eagle cent is considered more of a pattern coin rather than a coin struck for circulation and for that reason it is not included.

That would be okay for the very good reasons you state.

@ Moe145

Makes sense, however some of these are not possible, like the 1913 Liberty nickel mentioned. I guess in those cases we improvise.

Tbone:

I propose, if there's no way we can have all the designs of the year posted by members who own them (like the VERY elusive 1913 Liberty nickel), or no one posts any of that type, the OP then could post some from the internet so we can all compare and contrast the differing designs?

This is getting good.

Yes, please post coins you own.

Thanks everyone for your help.
We'll see you on the 21st.

Do we want to create a new topic for the virtual display, or perhaps edit this topic title to reflect the endeavour?

I had thought the same thing. It probably would get more attention and more participation in its own thread. If One50 would start another thread perhaps titled "Transition Coin Type Set" with the schedule since it was his idea we can proceed there.
