Thanks for posting that list. The 7070 list is a good place to start, but it's hardly a complete U.S. Type set. I started with the 7070, but since I acquired my No Drapery Seated Liberty half dollar and my Liberty Cap cent, as well as a few other things not on the 7070 list, I have been using the list that the NCG and PCGS Registry lists as guides. They're mostly the same as your list, but there is one weird anomaly. In the Large Cents category of the NGC registry set, there is no distinction between the Matron head and the various "braided hair" types. I mean, to fill the slots, you have to get a 1792 "half-disme", three different Standing Liberty quarters, three different silver 3-cent pieces, but you don't have to get a Matron head cent if you already have a braided cent? To me that just doesn't make cents (LOL). But a list is just a list. So my type set has both. Same with the contemporary cent, which, since 1982, has been made almost entirely of zinc. That would seem to stand as a type in my view, so even though the contemporary cent is just a shiny penny, I chose and (virtually) flawless red one for my set as an example of that "type."

The best guide for me has been the U.S. Type Set Red Book by Q. David Bowers. He manages to pack a lot of information about the types - what to look for, how common or uncommon they were/are and why, interesting connections between designs and history. All that has informed me when choosing examples. I'm not sure of the exact title, but I recommend that book whole heartedly for those interested in this way of collecting.
