As one of my two main pushes for the new year I plan to fill it over the course of 2023.
3 cent silver, 3 cent nickel, 1/2 cent, 2 cent and 20 cent.
I am thinking of doing an XF set. Am I right in thinking the the 20 cent is the most expensive one and will run around $250? Edited by Half

I am guessing that "#65504" is the "cent" sign, which I normally obtain by typing alt-189: ¢

Yes, the 20 cent piece will be the most expensive in XF condition. As a challenge, I would recommend to get a 20c that was not minted in San Francisco. The Three Cent Silver starts to jump in price in AU+ condition. It may be worth getting AU coins for the luster! Good luck with your set!! Suffering from bust half fever.

Nice challenge, as others have said, the twenty-cent piece is the most expensive.

This old-timer has long been a fan of the Capital plastic holders. They're great for colorfully displaying coins at club meetings, shows, etc. The odd type coin holder is an eye-catcher; especially so, when filled with higher grade coins.

Are Capital holders still being produced? Here's my late '60s / early '70s Capital 20th Century type set.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

jgfindring, it's absolutely fantastic - an incredible work of art, and a testimonial to both your woodworking skill and eclectic numismatic collection.
