...you can get a silver ike for $6-7, however it will be uncirculated. (good luck finding one of those in good) There are plenty of circulated Ikes for a type set if you use the clads that circulated. The silvers were "NFC". That made me think about the silver Ikes that I have in my 20th type set, and it is the first time I ever wondered why I used silver for those holes, instead of clad. I guess it's because silver looks nicer than clad in a display. I didn't go for the circulated look either though. I think I like that idea. Once I get all my 20th coins upgraded as high as I dare go, I might put together a set of circs with as much "character" as I can find. An AU/UNC set and a "working" set... good idea. |

How do you plan on displaying / storing your type set? I've seen one from capital plastics, and I believe one from Whitman. I think they have different ideas of what constitutes a type set, so there will be different 'holes' to fill. Or, you could devise your own set and store it however you like. Capital plastics alone has three different offerings for 20th century type sets: 28 coins, 37 coins, or 41 coins. Even with that selection, I don't like any of them because they include all five State Quarters. I'd like to choose just one. WheatieFan |

And you can put your "home State Quarter" there or just your favorite design !...  ...  |

Looking at those Capital holders I notice the 2nd and
3rd sets especially, are way overkill. All 1999 state
quarters? Different 82 cents? You might as well add small
dates, proofs, silver proofs, oh, and all the 2000 state
quarters too, as we all know the century didn't begin
'proper' until 2001... It's way too convoluted.
I like the first one pretty good, because it is simple,
but I still would change plenty about it. The net result
however, would be about the same number of coins.

I would have to disagree with using a Capital holder for your set if you are intent on filling it with low grade coins- the least expensive 28 hole set is $50 which is not much less than you would spend for the coins. Whitman makes a 20th century type album(not sure on the number of coins but probably more than 28) for about $20. http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...y-types.htmlEdited by biokemist6

Just counting 90% silver (G to VG)....
3 dimes = $8
3 quarters = $17
4 halves = $33
2 dollar coins = $28
---------------------
Total $86
I recommend creating your own type set album so you can determine which coins you do or do not want.

I'll probably just put my coins into 2x2 flips. It's inexpensive and it allows me to choose which coins to put into my type set. I'm probably going to get coins similar to the coins in a Dansco 7070. I might just make a couple adjustments. Eaglefoot, I like your idea about the State Quarters. |

I think you could get a Franklin and possibly a Walker for close to melt.
I started with a Dansco but found the 20th century coins in high grade did not look the best next to the xf coins of the 19th century, plus the thought of doing both century's was a daunting one. My solution was to start with the Whitman 20 century type set and to do it in a high grade while I still look for nice 19th century examples.
I like your idea of doing a lower grade set too. You could always upgrade as your budget allowed and it would let you get started by buying more coins than a higher grade set and the hunt would be just as enjoyable.

I just bought a Whitman Folder #9046 "20th Century Type Coins" I'm using it for my pulled from circulation / bought at face / given to me set. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to pick up all of the silver at melt. That would be ($5.15 x spot x .90) + ($.55 x spot x .40) Then through in the rest with a face value of $5.94 And figure on about a buck for the Indian Head penny, Liberty nickel, and Buffalo nickel50+2+6+1=~$60 So I'd guess you'd be able to complete this for somewhere around $60. |

I've got a 20th Century Type set in a plastic frame. I have no idea where I got it from or who makes it. When I first started to fill it all coins were whatever was available. For many years though I would take duplicates from sets and if better than the one in the type set I would change them. Most coins are still in just average condition but I just never got around to making it all MS. Just no important.
