Have you guys ever considered using aluminum or brass rivets?.. Although the original plastic rivets yellow over time, do you still prefer them?
Yes. Easy to get these Chicago screws in black/gold/white/etc. Use whatever looks best for your holder. For me the original screws also very fragile, break easily if tightened too much.
The first panacea of a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.

This holder inspired me to start my Liberty / Coronet $5.00 Gold Registry Set. It contained all 24 coins when I purchased it from Dave Bates for $1800.00 shorty before I left Rochester NY and moved to Atlanta in 1975. Most of the coins were high end AUs and low grade BUs with the highlight of the set being a 1907 in MS63. It made me wonder how long it would take me to purchase the previous 24 coins and that quest was finally accomplished when I snagged a 1892-O at a Atlanta show in 2012.
This on was for a Lesher House silver medal.....
Any one else remember all the hubbub around the blunt and pointed 5 and small medium and large bead 1965 Canada Silver Dollars.....
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
I remember all of the custom cut Capital holders similar to the Lincoln head shown above. I recall seeing shields for shield nickels and Civil War tokens (the hoard of Greenleaf - St. Paul MN CWTs were in a shield), waving flags, cars & ships, various state outlines, animals (Buffs) and so many more for competitive displays and topical collections. I recall once having a mini-hoard of Iowa commems in various color Iowa shaped holders and a small group of USS Monitor CWTs in an ironclad shaped holder.
Decided to pull out some neat looking nickels and place them within this Capital Plastics holder.
All are lustrous, not showing up on the photos.
(I don't own a half dime that matches, unfortunately so would rather leave that spot empty.)

Odd plastic. The half dime not being a nickel and all. 3 cent piece?

I'm holding two solid date runs of Mexican 50 Peso coins, 32 coins total for a combined AGW of just under 40 troy oz.

I have 115 Capital holders with 50 complete set holders.
Amazing!
Would love to see even just a couple of your favorites.

Here is a related thread.
Within this thread it speaks of the metal replacement screws being available on Amazon.

Never got around to finishing this Mercury Dime holder, then removed all and put them in individual flips.

Here is my raw Washington Quarter set from 1932-1998 in Capital Holders.
They are BU even the 1932-D but the photo really washed that coin out, but it is an MS-63 or 64
Here is my Washington Quarter Variety Registry Set
This is my Washington Quarter Proof Variety Registry Set
Still on the hunt for a problem-free AU'ish 1909-S Indian.
In the meantime:
That 09 cents set is very cool.

I would be amiss if I didn't include some Commemoratives.
Definitely some cool holders in here. I really need to pull some of the best War Nickels I have and fill this one.
