I liked the coin folder thread so I though maybe a Capitol holder thread would be nice

    No pictures, but I have so many type coins, too many, in the old Capitol single square holders. They take up too much space. But at the time I liked them very much. Still do. Talk about PROTECTION!

    I have a set of war nickels acquired along the collecting path....I do not recall any other sets.... I think there is the odd coin or two in a solitary holder..... Cheers, RickO

    Great holders here and great coins. :smile:
    My goal in life [ speaking of coins] is to complete 4 sets.
    2 sets have 4 coins each, 1 set has 40 coins, the other I completed almost 40 years ago, in Capitol Plastic :smile:

    PS Now I see why many people here like the black background for coin photos :smile:

    I slabbed the coins back in the late 80s. Now that the price of commems has crashed, I should replace them.

    Impulse purchase a while back because I liked the patina and the holder.

    I have always liked the short set Buffalo nickels. When kept in box a few years with the white plastic, an attractive peripheral toning occurs.

    I couldn't resist this set.

    Here is one you don't see every day. For sure, a custom holder. About 20 years ago, I purchased this set complete from a dealer who said the owner had put the set together over a number of years with his help. Was happy to get it.

    First photo shows the holder with the vinyl cover that makes it more like a book or album. Didn't need a flannel pouch. I am looking for a replacement cover as the vinyl is brittle and cracking. So far, no luck.

    The next two photos are of the obverses and reverses. Some nice cameos in there but no real monsters.
