I recently bgan populating my Dansco 7070. I think I"m going to leave those 4 holes empty. What were they thinking when they included 4 50c commems? WHat does that have to do with type coins from the last 2 centuries? My feeling is the album should have only included coins made for circulation. Anyone else agree?

No!

Please explain. How do 4 random modern 50 cent commems fit into a type set showing one example of each design type of each denomination from 1800 to present? I'm not trying to be argumentative, just trying to understand what I'm missing.

Well it is a "Type" set.

Those 50C Commems are a "type" of coin the US Minted.

It is also legal tender, so IMO it is a way to represent that type of coinage.

I like em' because they allow you to select a coin in whatever area of historic interest you have. There's just about a coin for everything you can imagine. JMO

Barry, the 4 commem half dollar holes are there to use (or not) as the collector sees fit.

Here's how I used mine:



(for me, kind of a commemoration of "discovery", settlement, westward, and my current hometown)

Massscrew is apparently going for original toned, lightly circulated coins, and his Lexington, indeed, looks like it was spent as money at least a few times, either that or carried as a pocket piece, either way, nice looking coin that I'm sure compliments the rest of his coins.

I couldn't have said it better myself I could get better (AU or Unc) but I want the set mainly in the XF range, except of course for the more modern coins. I love the look of old, dirty, silver coins
