A 21st-century type coin set consists of one coin bearing each design produced by the United States Mint during the 21st century. That is an enormous number of coins (commemoratives, state quarters, ATB quarters, Sacagawea dollars, etc) in both circulated/uncirculated and proof finishes. We must not forget the material of the coins like clad, silver, gold, copper, platinum, etc.

The NGC type coin registry takes the one type coin for the series approach. Therefore that is only one State Quarter, one America the Beautiful Quarter, one Sacagawea Dollar and one Presidential Dollar required. They only consider coins that were meant for circulation, so no commemoratives and no gold or platinum coins.

I decided to collect a  NGC-like 21st century type coin set but, looking always for perfection, my collection is made only by PR-70 coins.

Let's show it, in order of value and year of each coin.

The twelfth is a PR-70 UC 2013-S "Return to Monticello" Jefferson Nickel.

It was made of 75% copper 25% nickel and weights 5g.

The info below comes from https://jeffersonnickel.org/

"The Westward Journey Nickels were issued during the years 2004 to 2006, intended to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Louisiana Purchase and the famous expedition through the territory by Lewis and Clark. During these years, the Jefferson Nickel featured four new reverse designs and two new obverse designs."

NGC graded 2,305 2013-S "Return to Monticello" 5 cent Proofs, with 977 as PF-70 UC. 1,237,926 "Return to Monticello" coins were minted in San Francisco in 2013.

I bought this coin in 2013 for $11.28 and today's price is around $30.00.

"The conclusion of the Westward Journey Nickels was marked by a second new obverse design paired with the original reverse design. Dubbed “Return to Monticello”, the obverse was designed by Jamie Franki and sculpted by Donna Weaver based on a Rembrandt Peale painting of 1800.

These obverse and reverse designs have been used for each subsequent year of the Jefferson Nickel series to date."

The restored reverse design saw the addition of Felix Schlag’s initials “FS” at the base of the right side of Monticello.
