I need help finding a specific, custom holder. . . .

I want to collect a type set of odd denominations- large cent, (got it) helf cent, 2 cent (got it) 3 cent (silver & nickel) half disme, and twenty cent peice. Does Capitol make holders for type sets? or should i (ugh) slab them all and put them in a slab box (would a collection of slab boxes be called a mourge? image )

thnak you!!

  • Ugh. Really? D@mn. (the only reason i whine about it is i sent off my first coin to be slabbed earlier today, and like my wife said, "it doubled the cost of the coin. . . ")

    AirTite holders can accomodate up to 40 mm in diameter and they have 1 mm increments available. image

  • I'd like to get them all into one- so they're side by side. Is there something the airtites can fit into? Or am i just to picky??? (i think i am)

    Capital should make something like this. I have sets of these advertised in plastic holders before. Would not be hard to make your own either. The lettering is the expensive part. I know a company in the Northwest who does this, the local shooting club has my dealer get awards made in this way by this company.

    This type of collection would look good in a plastic holder, and would not be in a presentable form with slabs. I wouldn't slab anything I planned to display.

    Capital's model 412D holds 2c, 3c silver, 3c nickel, and 20c coins. You can see a list of their US Type coin holders here.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Air Tite also offers custom boxes to fit a number of different sized holders. They have both velvet steel cases and wood boxes. I'd pass on the slab boxes if you want to look at the set together.
