Four recent Newps for my old holder type set with some commenatry.

When you pay up you can end up with some pretty nice coins.

The most expensive non-silver coin I've bought to keep... for now. One of those coins I splurged a bit on because I know that, for my type set at least, I'll never have to buy another.


Saw this one and had to have it. Great luster, plus eye appeal, and a third generation NGC holder. A solid upgrade to my MS64 CAC. Just how I like 'em.


This was picked up as a result of my WTB on the BST! My first purchase from here. Thanks to @splitaces for this example. Just a lovely, hyper-original example. Exactly how I like my Seated material. This fills the arrows, no motto hole in my set, to go with the no arrows, no motto I already have (55 gold CAC).


Lastly, this Lincoln Commem. Exceptionally nice for a 64 in my opinion. A very popular type, as well, I want a few representatives of the commemorative era in my set, and this along with the Oregon Trail and Isabella Quarter are the start of the group. I'll look to pick up one more 50c and probably a Lafayette Dollar.

    Nice set, including that seated half, which somehow looks VERY familiar to me. LOL

    very nice, but you do not need rare slabs to pay up and get nice coins

    Some very nice coins and I can see you are both proud of, and happy with them. Cheers, RickO

    Nice, three gen 3 and one gen 4 holders all with intact holos. Love all of them!

    Well-matched, wholesome grouping. What a neat collection you are building (if you can avoid the temptation of selling!).

    Really nice 1853 Large Cent! 1853 is perfect for a type set as they are some of the most plentiful in the higher grades.

    Great coins and holders!

    The no-bar, gold embossed logo holders are a classic. The inserts are simple and classy.

  • ashelandasheland Posts: 23,035 ✭✭✭✭✭

    The coins and the holders, awesome!

    Thanks for the kind words. Always nice to get a solid response when I share my oddball taste in the junction between coins and plastic.

    Give me intact holos or give me nothing!

    I don't plan to sell for another 15-20 years. That's plenty of time to change my mind and not sell them at all too haha.

    Completely agree. Probably my favorite old holders.

    very nice group; the '92 quarter looks really sweet!

  • logger7logger7 Posts: 8,409 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Nice keepers if you can afford them.

  • DNADaveDNADave Posts: 7,262 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That’s going to be a very nice type set. How far along are you with it?

    I'm still in the process of imaging stuff but you can see a bunch of it here. The site is a major work in progress, you should ignore most of it.

    https://www.kennettcoins.com/oldholdertypeset2

    Notable missing types include a Barber Half (I had eyes on a 63 I liked but some eBay dealer went a full grade up on it and I wasn't willing to go that high), a 20 cent, technically I have two trades (AU55 CAC and MS63 no CAC) but both are in barcode fattys so I want to replace those... And so on it goes. I am not sure how complex I wanna get with the seated stuff and arrows/no arrows/drapery/no drapery/motto/no motto but I'm leaning just going with no motto, arrows, and motto.

    Otherwise 20th Century is pretty much done. I'm not chasing anything post-64. If it falls into my lap, neat, otherwise, who cares. Really focused on the Mid-19th Century stuff at this point, I have my eyes on a FEC, $20 Saint, and 20c right now up for auction. I'd imagine I win one of the three. I have an 1841 Large Cent en route as well.

    How early I really want to go is still to be determined.
