I've seen that most of the Numista community focuses primarily on types of coins rather than in year sets, for obvious reasons. But I think most users should have a complete year set of some coins.

So which year set of a coin are you most proud to have completed? Preferably a coin with at least 10 year lifespan, it could be a shorter set, if it is a hard set to complete, or even if it was only hard for you to complete it because it might be from a far away country or the coins are so despised by their home country that they usually end forgotten or melted.

For me it was the Mexican 10 cent from 1905-1914, as sometimes finding the smallest coins is harder than the bigger ones because the tiny ones are easily lost or sold as scrap.

My full set includes the variants, it would be an elite set if I had the over dated ones, but those are usually rare to find, I have some over dated coins but from other sets, so I'm also proud of those finds, as you need to be pretty meticulous to see the over dating.

EDIT: Add a picture(s) of your set, if you have the time to do so, it would be nice for the topic.

I collect all world by type except Russia (modern currency) .
Only Russia I collect by year and mint.
But our modern currency is very young. First issue of Russian modern currency was only in 1997 year.

So I have nothing to brag about in this issueю

But I have perfect coins from Cuba.
3 Pesos with Che Guevara.

There are 3 coins one type:

and 1 coin from other type

I have all 4 coins.


I think it will be good to post here pictures of our coins,m?
Best regards,
Ilya.

I'm proud to have completed the Fijian silver florin collection there were 9 issued

1934 - mintage 200,000
1935 - mintage 50,000
1936 - mintage 65,000
1937 - mintage 30,000
1938 - mintage 20,000
1941 - mintage 20,000
1942 - mintage 250,000
1943 - mintage 250,000
1945 - mintage 100,000

I just need a 1941 sixpence to complete the entire Fiji pre-decimal collection now as I have all the halfpennies, pennies, threepennies and shillings.
Mine wasn't so much a year set, but to have 1 sample of each type.  Third Reich era.  The 5RM Schiller was the last to complete it.

Hahaha, that's an easy one!
A nice one would be every Victoria florin/coin.

I try to collect many countries' coins by year, but I am yet to complete a year set I am proud of.  In fact, I think I have only completed NZ 1 cent and 2 cent coins.  I don't really buy coins individually but rather in bulk lots so it becomes a bit harder but hopefully I will have completed a few more by the end of the year.

Since you buy mostly in bulks maybe you'll feel proud once you complete any set, as it is like buying Booster packs for Trading Card games, you never know if the next bunch will come with exactly what you wanted  :O

This is the perfect place to post this. Burning cars are almost synonymous with completing coin sets. 8)

Estonian New Kroon 1991-2010 R.I.P.
But i have now nearly completed all circulated coins that were minted of these.
Exept one.....
2006 small letters 20senti.
The normal letters one i have, but not the one with smaller mintage. So i am one coin away of completing all coins from Estonia from that period (the ones meant for circulation).

From Mexico I have all years for circulation coins from the previous Peso 1970s to early 1990s, but many of the sheets are incomplete for me because somebody had the "great" idea to make 1-3 proof coins for some years, or single mint for others. Or often some years where never released for circulation, specially when the New Peso release was coming, most of the 1991-1993 mints never reached the public.

I know what u mean erdvilla. That can be frustrating.
Fortunately Estonia didn't do such thing. There is only one coin that was a circulation coin but only came in set.
As the new 2014 mints are released for the current peso, all my coin sets of those are now incomplete again   ``-  Will need to wait until around August for the first 2014 coins to reach all the way up to here. And see if some of the coins didn't had a 2013 mint because so far I haven't seen any of 10 Pesos 2013. There was a circulating commemorative 10$ but it is a 2012 mint, so there hasn't been a 2013 so far. Last time there was no mint for that coin was in 2003, as well as 2000 and 2001 but for those two years there were two circulating commemorative ones with mintages up to par with the normal mints. So 2013 might be the second year with no 10$.
