US Nickel Type Set Collection
As I begin writing about collecting coins, I thought that it would be fun to start a U.S. type set collection here on Coin Blogger. I have decided to start my U.S. type set coin collection with a nickel type set collection.
1913 Buffalo Nickel Obverse
I thought that this would be a fun way to kick off this blog, but it took me a while to decide which type of coin to start collecting first. But, after reading a ton of information about the different coin types, I decided that my first type set would be a nickel type set collection.
Why did I decide on collecting a U.S. nickel type set collection?
I have been reading a ton of books about coin collecting. In doing my research, I have been drawn to James Earle Fraser’s buffalo nickel coin. I don’t think that I am alone in my love of the Fraser buffalo nickel design. It is a favorite among coin collectors.
Another factor in my choice of collecting a U.S. nickel type set is price. I would love to be able to afford a U.S. gold coin or U.S. silver dollar type set collection, but unfortunately my budget won’t allow it. On the other hand, a nickel type set collection is much more affordable.
So, I hope that you will enjoy my journey of collecting a nickel type set. For those nusimatists out there that would like to provide me with some advice as I begin my collection, please leave your advice in the comments below. Additionally, you can contact me on my contact form above.
