“Type-coin collecting is one of the most rewarding and accessible ways to explore American numismatics. Whether you're a beginner just learning the ropes or a seasoned collector seeking historical depth, building a type set offers a unique blend of education, artistry, and challenge. Each coin tells a story—from early copper to modern clad issues—and together they form a panoramic view of our nation's coinage history.” - Jeff Garrett, Senior Editor Red Book
