Thanks Nickelsearcher! Right now this is how I do it.
Flowing Hair - 1795 2 Leaves - EF(40)
Draped Bust (Small Eagle) - 1796 Large Date, Small Letters EF(45)
Draped Bust (Heraldic Eagle) - 1801 EF(40) Undergraded
Gobrecht Patterns (I don't have this one)
Seated Liberty (No Motto) - 1841 MS(62)
Seated Liberty (With Motto) (I also don't have this one)
Trade - 1874 S Chopmarked MS(62)
Morgan - 1882 CC MS(64) PL
Peace - 1921 High Relief MS(62)
Which ones do you consider types that am I missing on this list? Eisenhower and beyond (I have up to Sacagawea) are not silver dollars, so I didn't include them in this post.

@Adam - I'm no expert on the dollar coins, so your listing of 9 type coins strikes me as reasonable and appropriate. Best of wishes to finding the two missing from your collection - hope you share them with us when acquired.  Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art |

Great looking set so far.
Since you include a Spanish Piece-of-8 in your set, are you also going to buy an original Dutch Lion Dollar? After all, these circulated widely in the early colonies.

@NumisEd: I want to upgrade my Mexican 8 Reales first, and then yeah, I would love to dig farther back in time :).

I forgot to include this one--the original "silver dollar" from our neighbor to the south! Outstanding! |

Impressive coins. I want a nice example of a Seated Liberty dollar but they are so darned scarce and expensive. |

the original "silver dollar" from our neighbor to the south Question, if one wanted a 8 Reales that was most typical of use in the Colonies what would best fit the bill? They span a great range of centuries, and come from Bolivia, Mexico, Spain... |

@TimNH. What a great question! I try to keep it to Mexico, and I like the design with the globes on it. That's how I decided--despite there being no historical or numismatic ethos behind that decision.

Nice set Adam. Looks like it's coming along. I think you will eventually acquire a Gobrecht dollar.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
