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 ... ?
Here’s a red ‘61 proof set. The early-60s proof sets occasionally tone red in OGP. I have a couple of dozen pieces I’ve cut & saved over the years and I thought it’d be neat to create a red proof set. The right half of this Jefferson is red although I’ve had difficulty capturing that.
Well, it's a Capital holder but not being used for what it was intended for. I have the 2020-W quarter series in this State Quarter holder. I wish they would make one for the 2019 and 2020 West Point quarters.

Any of you guys have a problem with coins spinning or rattling in these holders?
A "problem?" No! To me, that's a feature, not a bug! I have a few (photos to follow) and they're stored flat in a drawer. When I bring them out to admire them the coins all click forward in their slots... kinda magical in an odd way!
OK, as others said before, taking photos of these big shiny things is tuff. Snapshots here of the short set of Walkers. Later when I figure out how to take decent photos I'll come back. Time estimate is sometime between now and infinity.
I've had many of these over the years, 3 or so 1950-1964 Jeff Nickel Proof holders, Building one now to sell. Just lack cutting the key dates out of their 66 holders to place in holder. Had a Buffalo Nickel which I never used and sold. Several others that I can't remember long ago.

I picked this up a while back. My goal is to fill it someday. I couldn't pass it up when I came across it.
I remember when these Kingswood holders came out and always thought it was maybe the best way ever done to organize a type set. Nice looking coins!
Wow!
That nickel is out of this world.

On the contrary, Google is not your friend.
The smoothness of the proof Franklin is superior to all other examples too.

These are fun to put together and sell. I did this 56 set recently which did well and now working on the Ike set.
Newp I bought today.

Just finished this set with extras I had today.

These are all fun sets and it is terrific to see collecting in its true form.
Nice!

A six of what ?
The $20 Lib is not MS (almost everything else is) but since the coin came from my grandfather, I'll just keep it as is.
I love the looks of the Kingswood holder and might upgrade to those.
Heres one I have less than a dozen floating around I hear... the reverse looks something like this engine
