@Mister Kairu, the 20 cent will be the most expensive hole to fill. Most were melted after the 25 cent denomination was introduced.

Ah thanks for the info, Oriole! A quick lookup shows that luckily the 20 cent coin still won't break the bank so at least it isn't like a Seated Liberty dollar caliber financially. :) |

I beg to differ, the 1858 20 cent piece is tough, but obtaining a nice Vicky half and a 1947 ML dollar will be many times tougher. I've completed a type set a couple years ago and these were by far the most difficult to obtain in pleasing condition.

Ah I see. I am not too sure what your definition of "pleasing condition" is, but for me, I just want probably VF-AU details when I can. With the possibility of filling 15 total type albums (plus the $100+ each just for the albums on some), I am not too picky about anything MS grades. I definitely wouldn't mind getting them for more modern stuff but as long as I can see most of the details on a coin that floats my boat. Thanks for the comments!

@kookoox10, yes, a "nice" Vicky half is more expensive, but I did not realize that @Mister Kairu was planning to upgrade the worn ones, not just get a type.
I assumed that the 1947 ML dollar was NOT a distinct type in the Dansco, but if it is, that would definitely be more costly.

Aww yeah the 1947 ML dollar does look about the same price-wise as a Seated Liberty dollar. Blast. lol oh well it will take a life time to fill these if it is at all possible. We will see! And I was only going to upgrade some of the coins only if my LCS had them in their junk bin box (I know they have a few with King Edward/King George V in not-terrible condition). Also looking at some of the other coins in other type sets makes me cringe like a 1935 New Zealand Crown... going for thousands of dollars O.o never going to finish that set haha |

I am thinking the Canada collectors might not like this,
but a newfoundland 20 cent coin will fill that 1858 hole.
Good way to fill a hole until the right coin comes along.

I've completed a type set a couple years ago and these were by far the most difficult to obtain in pleasing condition. I passed up a sweet ICCS graded 1858 20 cents coin awhile back at a coin show. Can't remember if it was MS60 or AU but it was a beautiful and perfect looking bright white silver coin. They are hard to find in brilliant AU or Unc. The dealer, someone I buy from often, wanted $220 for it and I'm sure I could have gotten it for a little less. I'm still kicking myself for walking away from it  They are tough to find in that condition and for that price.. |
