20th Century Type Set Nickels

Do you have another slot you could use for your new nickle? My 20th set is a hard plastic capitol unit with no options for additions. My goal for the set is to have the best quality or the most valuable to fill the set. If I had the proof it would be in my slot.

If you figure out a good way, let us know. I have a custom 20th century type set too and I need a nice way to display it when I'm done.

As to your original question: I'd consider it to be another type due to the different finish - that and the addition of the FS initials on the obverse in '66 makes them different in my book.

It will be interesting to see what you come up with for your display.

It would be hard for me to decide what coin to put in .. the 1950 d or my 1997 matte proof.
I like both of mine very much.

I dropped off 3 coins at the coin shop today, to be sent into NGC.
Two of them are matte proof coins 1997 Jefferson and 1998 Kennedy

My plan is to slab and house coins, like these, in my lighthouse coin case.

I think I will like seeing the three different matte proofs right next to each other.

I think your idea of adding them to a type set .. is cool too
What are you going to do on the nickels then ..
UNC
proof
Matte proof
Satin
?
Are the westward journey nickels included, in the different types ..

Now I am starting to get ideas of my own

I have been considering the shell case cents a type because of the lack of tin, but I'm not sure if I'll stick with it. I consider any metal change, or change in lettering a type (like the VDB reverse, no VDB and VDB shoulder cents) or noticeable change to the design (even the changes to the date on the SLQ in 1925 for example) but I'm only doing business strikes. No SMS, proofs or business strikes with different finishes. I'm allowing "commemorative" coins in alternate metals as long as they are struck the same as the business strikes that year (so I can include the 40% bicentennials and a 40% Ike). I'm ignoring the mint mark except that I'd like to have one of each - otherwise nickels, dimes and quarters get another coin. I kinda cheat and use a 1996W for my clad Roosevelt though.

My dilemmas are: do I include one example State Quarter or all 10? Do I consider the 1921 Morgan to be a separate type from the ones before? And the two lesser ones: are the 1921 buffalo or the 1971D FEV Ike distinct enough to justify inclusion.

I do want to keep my rules consistent for when I branch out to the 21st century and 19th century too. I'll have to break the rules if I do gold because that's too much money to have more than very gross differentiation between types.
