Complete Decimal Collection

My decimal set seems to have evolved into 'at least one from every year'. It's hard to keep up with the commemorative circulation coins, the standard issues, and the non-circulating types in each year, although that's been fairly recent. I'm just glad I don't have to go chasing down coins from both mints for the mintmarks.

Right now I'm trying to wrap up my 2 cent and 5 cent collections so I can get started on finishing the ten cent.

I have a near-complete $1 collection. From memory there are over 140. I have included all RAM $1 coins including NCLT and all the mintmarks including portable press. I have ensured all are CHUNC. I have both suffrage varieties.

The only ones I'm missing are the varieties that have different obverse sizes (1999) from memory. I'm looking for CHUNC in these

My set also includes a mule (2000), all the 'rabbits' (1984, 1985, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2006) and a 180 degree 2001 upset. These however are errors and probably should be included in an 'error' set. I'm also looking to replace some with these with at least UNC.

Over the last few years I have also been opening rolls of various denominations and keeping all the coins without bagmarks. I'm fairly well on the way to having a set of those too.

My latest task is a set of proof $1 coins. I am going to include all the silver proofs as well (Masterpieces in Silver, Fine Silver Sets, and individuals). I have a Smithy portfolio that I may pull apart to get to the silver smithy dollar (large head) variety. I'm only missing the coin fairs which have continous reeding.

Question: Do I pull the 2006 mule out of its set and put it into a dansco supreme Propbably not

Peter,
Actually, it is a proof 2005 $1 in a 2006 proof set. There were no 2005 Mob of Roo proofs made. There has been plenty of discussion on whether it is in fact a mule. I understand that there are at least 25 known and possibly up to 40 in existence.

There is one for sale on ebay at the moment with a BIN of $2499.

There are also 2006 sets that have a 2005 proof platypus. Same thing. No 2005 proof platypus were produced. Again, I understand these are even rarer that the above.
