OK, let's try this. Show the longest running series you have completed. Does not have to include varieties, as long as it has all available years and mints. Show the first coin and the last coin and we will trust you for the rest. (show the lot if you like). Scoring will be last year minus the first year and then multiply by the denomination. Highest score will win. It's 7pm forum time now on Friday, so the contest will run until 7pm Monday. Let's see what you have. So for my example below... 1996 -1950 = 46 46 x 10 = 460 (these coins are 10pf, sorry I don't have a pic of the other side). However, you will need to show dates and denomination.

I like this challenge since I have several complete sets... Technically my Canadian large cents is my longest series from 1858 to 1920 but that has to be photographed yet  Took me a moment to see this, but I happen to have the complete Indian cent set 1859 to 1909... 1909-S:   And my 1859 is within this short set:  1909-1859 = 50 × 1 = 50...

A great start Mrwhatisit. My set of Indians is not quite half complete, and most of those have holes in them. :(
So Mrwhatisit leads with 49 points at this stage.
The 1859 is a totally different KM#.

The Gulden subset of my Kingdom of The Netherlands Type Set probably is the longest running series I have. Willem I Gulden, 1824. Beatrix Gulden, 2001.  Note that the quality of the Willem I gulden is really bad. I am still on the look out for a much better specimen. |

I probably should have been more specific. I'm looking for sets of the similar KM#. Will accept KM#1, KM#1a, KM#1.1 etc.
Nice coins though NumisEd.

I'm sure we can group KM#90 and KM#90a together.
Jbuck scores 49 points

Just realised the 1859 Indian is a totally different KM#, so have edited Mrwhatisit's score.
Mrwhatisit...49 points (winner so far, as first to post)
Jbuck...49 points

Nobody has a complete nickel set, 1938-2003, KM# 192/192a ? Or a complete dime set, 1946-2023, KM# 195/195a ?
Or the granddaddy of single KM numbers (KM# 24/24a), the Swiss 1 Franc: 1875-2022!!
