Finished my type set.

I did a 7070 type set years ago and found it lacking. I found the Kingswood type set put out by David Bowers in the 90's that is a lot more complete. It consisted of 15 Capital type holders. I did not do the early gold holder or the first holder due to cost. My type set starts at 1800. I tried to get them in EF or better. Here are the results of my endeavor. I also included six scans of types that I didn't crack out. I just finished the early gold commemorative holder. All the gold commems in this holder were crackouts so no counterfeits there. I have enjoyed doing this set and welcome any comments. Gary

The six I did not crack out.

Have a good day, Gary

    Beautiful, just beautiful. Black and gold are the best Capital Holder colors, IMO.
    Wonderful set. Congratulations!

    Congratulations! It took me years to get everything. When I was filling your case one, I bought two or three coins a year. That took patience. Now that you have the other slots filled, maybe you will go back to it.

    Congratulations! It's cool that you found a set that worked for you, and it looks like you must have had a great time building such a nice set.

    Thanks for sharing!

    wow!! Awesome collection. That first page reminds me of the early Whitman Small Denomination Type set I started... and quickly gave up... The likelihood that I'd be able to mow enough lawns for a Chain Cent and a Small Eagle Quarter... zero... ;-)

    I wonder how many of those "New Issues Gold, 1795 - 1834" holders were ever completed? I dare say very few, and if there is a holder out there which still has the coins in it, that holder would be rarer than any of the coins that are in it. Filling that holder, even with so-so coins, would require an investment of several hundred thousand dollars.

    How true. As a retired diesel mechanic, that's why I never tried.Thanks for your comments.

    Have a good day, Gary

    Thanks to everyone for the comments. It took 20+ years to build this set and was nice to get it completed to the standard I wanted.
