Wow, that is very impressive. That had to cost a fortune as most of what he/she has in the album are PQ. Didn't look like he/she had any sluff coins.

You really have to wonder how much that set cost him. A wonderful set.

This is the set that made me start a collection of type coins. Working on a type set is fun.

That is one beautiful album of coins, I could probably retire my entire family with the cost of that collection. Ironically, the only coin I did not like, also one of my favorites, was the 1977 Ike dollar. I don't know why they chose a dark insignificant Ike to put into the album unless there is something special about that coin that I don't know about. Can anyone help me out with that? Berry |

I have a few type sets -- for cents, nickels, half dollars, etc. But, to afford the one pictured would be far beyond my means.
Anyway, it was nice to look at.

That is a sweet set. Might have to start one of those when I get done with the gazillion other sets I have going.

I think that Ike is just a mirror proof that is reflecting something black in the background. Go up and look at the Kennedy half. It also has a black reflection. MM  |

That set belongs to a collector named Barry from the CU forum. He put it together in a very short period of time. There is a very easy way to tell it's his, he dislikes commemorative halves, and didn't put any in his album. There is a spot for 4 of them in the album. This is what that page should look like. This is my album and I just put the last coin in it. Now on to the upgrades  |
