last night I won the last coin that I needed for my Great Britain type set and that was a 1910 Edward VII 4 pence in UNC condition. This completes the 180 coin set that is what I laid out as the type set I wanted to build. I have one more coin needed to complete my India type set so I'll keep looking until one appears.

These two sets were fun to build and took me approximately 4 months to put together. I'm now working on my registry set of US Presidential dollars to keep me active.

I'd be curious about which KM#'s you included in each of these sets.

I will post pictures when the last coins get here and as far as how I made my list for putting the set together as I wasn't worried about mint marks, error coins, as I just was getting one of each bust type from 1800 to 1970 when they switched to the decimal system in each coin value. So like with Victoria I bought the young head, bun head, Gothic, jubilee head, and the old head. I only have one coin that is a William IIII crown that is a re strike because I wasn't willing to pay the amount needed to get the real deal in the condition I wanted.

I'll pull together a list of KM#s and post it. This is a set most people wouldn't build but it was the set I wanted to put together. Most expensive coin was an Edward VII Crown in uncirculated condition with a great strike.

I'd love to see pics too. I've been haphazardly trying to put a Type Set together, and with too many other coin projects on-going, have let this one sit awhile.

Yeah, please post some pics. I've toyed with this idea myself and would like to see what you have put together.
