I don't have, and am not likely to obtain the two type 2's in this set so I plugged the holes with the 1982 brass mint set fillers.   All proof or uncirculated except for the near date and I'll keep an eye out for that. |

Very nice set!  My SBA set is a single page with 16 holes. 15 standard P/D/S with proofs, the 16th hole is the same 1982 proof set medal. |

I am impressed .. that is a nice looking set. I never had a desire to do this series, but there seems to be more interest in SBA's lately. I can see myself doing a page like Jbuck says he did. |

Thanks GR58, I'm surprised that you don't have a set of these. It was interesting learning about SBA as well. Also, I think you are in a great position to watch for those type 2's. |

I think the 1979 TY II sets come though more often then the 1981 sets. If I remember right the 1981 TY II proof sets cost quite a bit more. So much I don't think I would break that set apart. I saw a post where Jbuck posted he added the page to one of his albums. I got a idea in my head to take a blank Dansco binder and put blank pages in it. Just for some of these short series. Could have a page for SBA's Shield nickelLiberty head nickels Two Cent Three CentJust a thought |

Nice set you put together So, the treasury "tokens" in the holes for the type 2 coins are the ones you have in proof sets? |

Yes, it seems the 79 type 2's are more common than the 81's. I'm not real concerned about getting either one though. I also don't care for the Dansco albums with only two pages......but  ......I like your idea of the blank pages and including just the coins you want. |

For what it is worth, one can also use replacement pages instead of blank pages... Even better idea .. thanks Jbuck |

You are welcome. I did not know about these (or if they were even available) when I bought my blank pages. Probably good thing, since I would then have to collect some of the labeled varieties that I decided to skip.  |
