My CAC Type Set Progress

[geekpryde]

Recent additions to my CAC approved Type Set (custom NGC registry set). And my thoughts on future purchases.

 

I have been hunting for new coins to add to my CAC Type set, and it's getting harder! I recently created a "want-list", and listed every circulation strike US coin type I could think of. I marked many types as "TOO COSTLY" to buy, as my budget is $100 to $350 per coin. I marked coins I already own, and marked coins in RED that I am actively searching for. My budget only allows me to buy 1 or 2 nice coins per month, but since I am running out of easy targets, this should be fine.

 

My most recent purchases can be seen in my custom set gallery, I have included a single photo in this journal entry. The list of newps for the month of May, which I financed by selling a 1913 5C Type 1 MS67 CAC and a few others:

 

1826 CENT - CORONET PCGS MS 35, CAC

1913 FIVE-CENT PIECES - BUFFALO, TYPE 1 PCGS MS 65 TYPE 1, CAC

1874 GOLD DOLLAR - TYPE 3 PCGS MS 58, CAC

1806 HALF CENT - DRAPED BUST PCGS MS 25 SMALL 6 NO STEMS C-1, BROWN, CAC

1838 HALF DOLLAR - CAPPED BUST, REEDED EDGE PCGS MS 45, CAC

1951 HALF DOLLAR - FRANKLIN PCGS MS 63 BUGS BUNNY, CAC

1853 HALF DOLLAR - SEATED LIBERTY, ARROWS & RAYS PCGS MS 40 ARROWS & RAYS, CAC

1836 QUARTER DOLLAR - CAPPED BUST, SMALL SIZE PCGS MS 30, CAC

1832 HALF CENT - CLASSIC HEAD NGC MS 55 BROWN, CAC

1866 FIVE-CENT PIECE - SHIELD, RAYS PCGS MS 45 RAYS, CAC

1831 HALF DIME - CAPPED BUST PCGS MS 45, CAC

1850 DIME - SEATED LIBERTY, STARS OBVERSE PCGS MS 40, CAC

1854 HALF CENT - CORONET, BRAIDED HAIR PCGS MS 50 C-1, BROWN, CAC

1853 HALF DIME - SEATED LIBERTY, STARS OBVERSE PCGS MS 53 ARROWS, CAC

1909 CENT - LINCOLN, VDB WHEAT REVERSE PCGS MS 65 RED BROWN, CAC

1857 CENT - FLYING EAGLE NGC MS 45, CAC

 

 

I am most actively looking for a circulated Trade Dollar and a circulated 20C Type. The hunt is fun.

 

I recently purchased this book on Amazon to help me double check my Type List to see if I missed anything and to learn more about the major/minor varieties. I also want to know more about the coins I already own.Red Book Pro Want List: CAC Want List Gallery: CAC Type List Gallery
