BUILDING YOUR OWN BITCOIN TYPE SET

APPROACHES USED FOR RARE COINS ALSO APPLY TO PHYSICAL CRYPTO

- BY JAMES McCARTNEY

How do you approach building a collection in the physical crypto category? The answer is relatively simple in that the very same collecting approaches used for traditional rare coins also apply to physical crypto. These approaches are endlessly customizable, but some of the most popular ones include focusing on a particular country, series, denomination, composition, date or other characteristics.

One of the most straightforward and satisfying collecting approaches to any category is assembling a type set. A common framework for building a type set is to select a series and acquire an example of each denomination in that series. While there are many great candidates for this among physical crypto, perhaps no series is better suited to this approach than the Lealana series.
