kena Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1682 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 4:00 pm Hi folks, As some of you know, I am working on the 7070 type set album. I also have up to date sets of modern US circulating coins. While working the type set, I started thinking I should try to put together a modern US type set of coins which still circulate since I should have extras of most of them. I wanted the set to take in account when initials were added, mintmark moved, design changes, etc. Here is the list without silver coins or wheat cents. 2000 to 2008 Sacagawea dollar 2009 to date Native American dollar 2007 to date President Dollar 1971 to 1974 and 1977 to 1979 Kennedy half dollar clad 1976 Kennedy half dollar Bicentennial Reverse 1980 to date Kennedy half dollar clad and P used for Philadelphia 1965 to 1967 Washington quarter with no mintmark 1976 Washington quarter Bicentennial Reverse 1968 to 1974 Washington quarter with mintmark obverse 1977 to 1979 Washington quarter with mintmark obverse and lower relief 1980 to 1998 Washington quarter with mintmark obverse, lower relief, and P used for Philadelphia 1999 to 2008 Washington quarter 50 States 2009 Washington quarter District of Columbia & U.S. Territories 2010 to date Washington quarter America The Beautiful 1965 to 1967 Roosevelt dime with no mintmark 1968 to 1979 Roosevelt dime with mintmark on obverse 1980 to date Roosevelt dime and P used for Philadelphia 1938 to 1942 and 1946 to 1964 Jefferson nickel with mintmark on reverse 1965 Jefferson nickel no FS initials and no mintmark for Philadelphia 1966 to 1967 Jefferson nickel FS initials added and no mintmark for Philadelphia 1968 to 1979 Jefferson nickel FS initials added and mintmark on obverse 1980 to 2003 Jefferson nickel FS initials added, mintmark on obverse, and P used for Philadelphia 2004 Jefferson nickel Indian Peace Medal 2004 Jefferson nickel Keelboat 2005 Jefferson nickel Bison 2005 Jefferson nickel Ocean View 2006 to date Jefferson nickel Facing Portrait of Jefferson 1959 to 1982 Lincoln Cent Copper 1982 to 2008 Lincoln Cent Copper-Plated Zinc 2009 Lincoln Cent Birthplace 2009 Lincoln Cent Formative Years 2009 Lincoln Cent Professional Life 2009 Lincoln Cent Presidency 2010 to date Lincoln Cent Shield Have I missed any coins? Bear in mind, that I don't see these coins on a daily basis, since I live in England. If I was to add the silver coins and the wheats, here are those coins: 1964 Kennedy half 90% silver 1965 to 1970 Kennedy half 40% silver 1932 to 1964 Washington quarter silver with mintmark on reverse 1946 to 1964 Roosevelt dime silver with mintmark on reverse 1942 to 1945 Jefferson nickel Wartime Silver with mintmark on reverse above the dome 1909 Lincoln Cent VDB on reverse 1909 to 1917 Lincoln Cent no VDB 1918 to 1942 and 1947 to 1958 Lincoln Cent VBD on obverse 1943 Lincoln Cent Zinc-Coated Steel 1944 to 1946 Lincoln Cent Bronze Which does no look too bad, except for the need of having three 1909 Lincoln Cent VDB on reverse coins....one for the 7070, one for my Lincoln Wheat set, and one for this expanded type set. Right now, I only have one and this in my 7070 album. Ken Report this Post to the Staff

For example, the Jefferson nickel (the series I am most familiar with) was redesigned mid-1939 to strengthen and sharpen the reverse. Then again repeatedly throughout the 70s, 80s, and 90s. If you're going for every design change, you'd be better off just doing a year set for all the coins. The relief was literally lowered a little bit every couple of years on nearly every denomination from about 1977-1995. In terms of bigger changes, you're missing the change in 1969 when lincoln's head was shrunk for the cent. And again in 1992 with the switch from the " WAM" to the "CAM" reverse. And I think there was an incredibly slight composition change in the early 60s somewhere? Why just build a type set though? Most of these coins are just pocket change to the average American, and it's incredibly simple to put together a full circulation set for everything since 1965 if you skip on the few rare varieties. You could probably do the whole thing in AU grade for marginally over face. Report this Post to the Staff
Lyle Kruse Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 02/05/2014 5:22 pm The Susan B. Anthony dollar still circulates, they were minted 1979-1981 and again in 1999. There is one design change in particular, the 1979-P Close date and the Narrow date. You can read about those here: https://goccf.com/t/84884 Hope this helps! Report this Post to the Staff
