Today at a local coin shop I bought the coins needed to complete another 20th Century type set. It is the Capital Plastics 451-N holder which has 18 openings. The coins purchased were the Liberty nickel, Barber dime, Barber and Standing Liberty quarters, and Barber half. This is a circulated set. I now have a total of three 20th Century type sets completed, this 451-N, a Capital Plastics #408-B in uncirculated with 36 openings, and another circulated set housed in a picture frame with 29 openings.    I am presently working on filling two more Capital Plastics holders with uncirculated coins, the #490, 38 openings including 8 for the gold types and the BVD-60 with 32 openings. This BVD-60 does not include the State Quarters which are in the currently made version. Since these photos were taken I have added the steel cent, shell case cent (A replacement for a scratched piece in the #490) and 90% Kennedy half dollar to both, an 1856-S Liberty $2.50 to the #490 and a Morgan dollar to the BVD-60.

 Congratulations, those are some good looking sets. I personally always loved the Capitol Plastics holders, all my favorite raw 2¢ pieces are in 2x2 holders from them.

I love being able to say that I am jealous... I hats to say that I am going to have to copy you. The presentation is striking.

These look really nice. But the first one is a little weird with the 1 cent Lincolns. It seems to me that the first hold labelled just "Lincoln" should be something like "Lincoln Wheat", since the other hole is "Lincoln Memorial".

Awesome sets dude. I love those holders, especially the black versions.
Here is the question, are you doing these for resale or for your own collection?

Thanks to all for your comments, they are appreciated. Quote:

It will take a few more years but eventually I will have filled all of the holders in this picture with uncirculated coins. All are Capital Plastics holders, top row early #460, newer #460, obsolete #460-B, one made expressly for Bowers & Ruddy Galleries; middle row BVD-60, #408-B, #490; bottom 451-N. I have two each of the #460-B and BVD-60 one of each is used and one is new old stock. The used ones will be more circulated sets. The white 451-N will house uncirculated coins.  I have just one 19th century type set holder and my goal is to have as many uncirculated coins in it as possible. So far the only circulated coins in it are the 1811 O-104a half AU-55 and the 1846 Liberty Seated dollar AU-53  Ed ANA LM-3175 Edited by Gyrene7483
