snitchard Valued Member United States 420 Posts	Posted 02/17/2009 11:20 am Hello, Does anyone know where I can get Birth Year frames with Cent - Dollar? Also, what condition of coin does one put in a birth year set, BU or Proof? Any help, as always, would be appreciated. Thanks, Rich Report this Post to the Staff

What goes in depends on how much I like the kid. Some neices got proof, some got BU, some got nothing. Report this Post to the Staff

The best ones I have seen have been hand made and put a little extra meaning behind them, just a thought. Report this Post to the Staff
wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 02/17/2009 7:03 pm "Capital Plastics" is the company that makes the frames. The hard part is to make sure you get the correct frame for the year! 70s had a big dollar coin (Ike) 79-81 had a small dollar coin, 82+ didn't have any dollar coins, 99+ have 5 quarters each year, 04-05 have two nickels each year, 08+ have 4 Presidential dollars, and so on.... So if you're thinking you'll just get a few 'Birth Year Frames' and fill them up, you might have to back up a bit. Make sure you know how many coins are in a mint/proof set of the particular year so that you can buy the appropriate frame. I think either proof or BU would be appropriate. I personally think proofs are prettier. Keep in mind that if you're giving this to a child, the set will one day be opened and the coins will get fingerprints on them and so on...
