Liberty Seated Dime For Type Sets

If I may add, The Seated dimes went through 8 design changes over the span of the series. The three styles included in the Dansco 7070 represent the major changes in the design but fail to recognize the no stars and no legend dimes of 1837 and the 1838 O. Likewise with the Half Dimes. They went through 6 design changes with the 1837 and 1838 O issues not having stars or a legend. As with any series, the first year of issue is a coin not to be ignored.

Myself, I prefer the first year of issue since technically the subsequent types are modifications of the original design. Yes, this could become cost prohibitive for most collectors. Simply an opinion when ultimately it boils down to what you end up chosing based on your apeal. On the subject, I'm 32 from a complete date/mintmark set of which perhaps six I'll most likely never afford even in AG. And I'm fine with that.
