Here is my best looking completed set, this time in a capital plastics holder.
Here are a couple of "short sets" from the World War II era.
The cents in a Wyte Raymond holder.
The War Nickels
The Mercury Dimes
I am now working on a short set of Walking Liberty Half Dollars in a Dansco page. It's 20 coins, but since they need to be raw, it might take a while to find them.
Here is my boyhood set of Lincoln Cents. I didn't finish it until I was 34 when I bought a 1909-S-VDB in with ANACS papers. The 1909-S-VDB was in this album for while. Now it's in a slab.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

I didn't post pics because the album isn't complete, but I do the same thing in my 7070. For example, it seemed like a sin not to have the arrows & rays quarter and half with the reverse up.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

Totally agree! No rush completing that album, take your time.
Not the best pics but you get the idea.

Sorry for the lousy pics, hard to shoot thru plastic. Last coin in second row is 16/16, last coin in third row is 18/7-D, reversed coins in third photo are 1930 5leg, 35 DDR, 3-legger and 38 D/D/D/S. Completed but always on the lookout for upgrades

Maybe complete, but wouldn't say finished with them. There's always that 1 or 2 that you'd love to upgrade.
Theses are beautiful!
I'm nervous about cracking out some Peace dollars that I bought already in slabs. I need them for my set, and would love to have them in my album. But I have not yet gotten up the nerve to break them out. They are not high grade/value (most are AU, some even AU details), so I really should just do it...

I only wanted a 46 to 64 album but couldn't find one. This album went to 2005, so I fulled it.

Here is my 2012 S - 2021 S, 2019 W - 2020 W mint mark album.
I had to add a page for the 4-ray '35s

None of my albums are truly put to bed, I may upgrade if I see a coin that merits it.
My current registry sets:
20th Century Type Set
Virtual DANSCO 7070
Slabbed IHC set - Missing the Anacs Slabbed coins
Here is the last one I upgraded.

Completed sets, yes, put to bed...maybe not!
@ARCO What was the average grade of those beautiful Barbers when you sent them in to PCGS?
Later, Paul.
Thanks Stooge. It started as a VF-XF set. The VFs were VF30-35 and the majority were XF and some AU coins. Probably around XF40 was the average.
Maybe complete, but wouldn't say finished with them. There's always that 1 or 2 that you'd love to upgrade.

I can't remember where I found this holder but I had fun filling in the holes.
Did any of your coins give you a problem going into those holes?

I never posted my Canadian set.

Not really but the 3c silver, bust half dime and bust dime are a little loose in the holes.
