Having a great time with my type set. Here are pics of my weekend purchases.

The 1912 Liberty Nickel with cents is the newest nickel addition (nickels are finished):

  • Thanks Baley. You're exactly right...going for original as much as possible. And thanks again for the inspiration. After seeing your type set, I was inspired to start my own. Thanks again.

    One word. Beautiful.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
  • Cool! What kind of album is that? I was told the #7070 Dansco is a good Type Set Album, and I'll be using it for my Dime/Half-Dime Type set

    Looks great!
  • George,

    It's the Dansco U.S. Type #7070. Excellent album, IMO. Here are my half dimes and dimes. The Liberty Seated with legend has some interesting toning:

  • Very nice and well matched. I always like to see people working on consitant sets. Glad to hear that you are enjoying putting it together!

  • Thanks for the kind words. This is a fun set to put together. It starts out easy and fast, so you feel like your making good progress. Then it gets more challenging, but since you already have many holes filled, it's easy to slow down and take your time. Everyone should do one of these sets.
