Year Collection
Year
set is the name given to a collection of coins
where a coin for each year of production is
represented. For example, in the Lincoln
Cent series, you would need only a single coin
for each year to complete a collection.
This method of collecting provides the coin
collector a more economical method of
collection. Using the Lincoln Series again as an
example, collecting one coin for each year
avoids the cost of acquiring a 1909 S VDB coin.
Instead, 1 1909 P coin will suffice.
Year Set
A
year set is a set of coins from the same year.
For example, you could create a set of coins
from 1954 and include a penny/cent, nickel,
dime, quarter and half dollar. You could
further refine this year set to be all "P" or
all "D" or all "S". Additionally, you
could make this set of all circulated coins or
uncirculated coins. You can also purchase
year/mint sets that are specially created by the
mint.
