Does anybody make a holder or album for a 19th century type set with the early bust half dimes,dimes,quarters,halves and dollars?

    DANSCO 7070 takes care of that (and a bunch more)... hmmm...

    The 7070 is the most comprhensive I know of but it does miss several issues. Just to name a couple, all of the draped bust silver coins are excluded.

    I was looking through BKs site just to check whit, littleton and didn't see anything quite right.
    I defer, always, to the millions of years combined experience of the rest of the board (and that's just Russ, Bear and Laura!)

    I use a Dansco 7070 resold by Littleton for my type set. My previous type set album was a Harco Coinmaster, which I ditched when I saw PVC damage on several coins. The 7070 makes my type set more affordable, by excluding the likes of Type II $1 gold, $3 gold, Type II silver 3 cents, small eagle Draped Bust silver, Flowing Hair, and many Seated Liberty subtypes. Still, I'm looking for a more ambitious (but safe) type set album.

    The greatest Type Set albums in existence are the Library of Coins. Unfortunately, they have been out of print since the 1960s . . . but you CAN find them if you look at enough coin shops. I found mine there . . . they are a 2-album set. As you might not expect . . . many are near virgin . . . my set had just been dumped after the previous collector put together just a few coins and it was crisp. It has EVERY type. If you get those two filled . . . you have truly done a magnificent job.

    I started with these . . but the risk of hairlining up nice coins in ANY album convinced me to bag the albums. I still collect albums, coin boards, and Wayte Raymond/National pages, but not for completion of coin sets.
