I posted a week or 2 ago that I bought my 1st coins in a while.. its amazing what getting married, buying a house, and having my 1st child did to my disposable income... however I guess that buying that junk silver a few weeks ago got my blood flowing in the right direction again. I went out and added my 1st coin to my type set in about 3.5 years... Nothing special... It was the common date type 2 standing liberty in AU+ which I found for a very reasonable price but it fit well... I attempted to take pics of the coins in the album but I'm just not as good as it as a lot of you folks... maybe I'll get there!! With that said you can see I'll have a lot of upgrading to do once I get them all filled but... I am closer!

Several of these came from my dad or grandfather (3 cents nickel, the Trade dollar, 21 morgan, the statue of liberty, the gold, etc. so they may never be upgraded. Fun to think about tho!

Having kids will do that to a collector. Nice progress!

Looks great!
And yes my collecting slowed to a stop and slow crawl until my son graduated. Been making up for lost time these last few years

Very nice. Having coins from your dad and grandfather make the set extra special.

I've got a type set also.
It's my absolute favorite.
In fact I just added to it yesterday; got another coin at the Baltimore Whitman show.

Very nice type set and album

My US numismatic collection is mainly a type set, with many duplicates. I don't collect series by date. I've been slowly making a virtual 7070 album using photos, and discovered that I'm completely missing the Half Dime with arrows, along with some recent types. (I guess I never paid much attention dates with and without arrows.)

I will always enjoy looking at others type sets, thank you for posting yours.

It does look like a very nice set. I like the idea of having coins that were
passed down to you included in the album.

That is a beautiful set; really nice! Only a few (challenging) holes left to fill. I will leave you with a quote:

Alexis Zorba: I'm a man, so I married. Wife, children, house, everything. The full catastrophe.

-- Zorba the Greek (1964)

Love that quote KenKat. I wouldn't do it any differently but it is a change for sure.
