My bad, the actual board is 11" X 14". The earlier dimensions I gave were for the wood frame.

I have the 408B and love it. It uses all 5 1999 quarters for a total of 41 coins.
I have an older version of the 408B that does not have the five 1999 State Quarters in it and I love it for that. They did not need to put all five 1999 quarters in it since there were the five 2000 State Quarters also in the 20th century. One for the State Quarter series was all that was needed and let the collector choose which one to fill that hole.

Gyene7483, Thats an awesome set!! I see it has two Standing Liberty quarters and an extra Jefferson nickel, whats the difference? I like how it included the raise ground in the Buffalo nickel.

One of the holes for Jefferson nickels is for the War Nickels, minted in 35% silver. The types of SLQ's are "exposed" variety, and the "covered" Variety.

As requested, here is my 20th century type coins. Note: the board is sitting backwards in the frame so I could take a shot without the glass. My first 20th century collection was done back in the late 1960s early 1970s when I was in Boy Scouts and when I had a paper route. I eventually rolled the collection into a Dansco 7070 album (which still has a lot of empty holes). I wanted a nice wall display, so this was the result. The last hole I just filled was the Barber half. Those are getting hard to find in the higher grades when you're on a tight budget.

Batboy,
thats awesome. thanks for sharing. I just looked on ebay quickly for higher grade Barber halves and your right they are pricey.

I'm going to start putting together my own 20th century set also, what do you think about using proofs for the common coins, basically the non silver coins?

As for using proofs, that's entirely up to you. Personally, I would hate to crack open the proof sets for a type collection. Since you plan to make your own board, maybe you could make the holes to fit airtight coin holders to help preserve the proofs?

in today's market the killer for the 20th C type set has to be the Barber half it is the only xf coin in my set and it screams upgrade to me.

you can find proofs already cracked open on ebay at low prices. not sure if ill do that.

I thought about getting a board sized to fit airtite capsules. The thickness of the capsule creates problems with framing and then the actual board needs to be thicker and then the price of that goes up.

I came up with a layout for my custom 20 century board, its similar to your board, not exact though. once a get the graphic design part done i'll post a pic.

I'm sure the barber Half will be the last coin I buy to complete the set.
I want it to be a high grade set, most of my other silver sets are pretty low grade.

all the mint marks! I didn't even consider that until now. I like that idea though.
