The following is an article excerpt from Coinweek
I was having a conversation with client JF, and he told me about a way he collects coins which I thought was novel and neat enough to share with you. If you are familiar with wine collecting (and drinking) you know about verticals. A vertical wine collection is when an individual pursues different vintages of the same wine type (Bordeaux, Burgundy, etc.) from the same winery. An example of this would be a vertical set of Bordeaux from Chateau Lafite Rothschild bottled between 1985 and 2015.

So just collecting by one year every coin from one mint? Like having a mint or proof set :).

It's a subtle thing, but one can choose relatively easy or extremely challenging years, difficult enough to be a worthy collecting goal. Complete it, and you get to say, "Yay! I'm 1% of Eliasberg!"

Really cool idea.

I have two collections. One is for a specific year mint and denomination. While most of you might think that is a one coin collection, I specialize in die studies. So I'm trying to get some of each die combination. Various grades. PLs & DMPLs. Early middle and late die wear stages. Light and full strikes. And then some toners. A VAM slot might have 5 or 6 examples.
My other collection is not nearly so picky retentive. Anything goes. Greek, Roman, cup coins, medieval, treasure, world, 7070 and Whitman folders.
