U.S. Mint 19th and 20th Century Coins. Whatever the theme thanks for sharing. Good luck

 

Old coins

 

Type sets based on design changes.

1883: Liberty Nickel
1892: Barber Coinage
1909: Lincoln Cent
1913: Buffalo Nickel
1916: Changeover to Merc, SLQ, Walker
1932: Washington Quarter
1938: Jefferson Nickel
1942-1945: Wartime coinage
1946: Jefferson Nickel
1948: Franklin Half
1959: Memorial Cent
1964: Silver replaced by clad

Nice idea!

 

Yup, design change. I have always been fascinated with the way people used to live (and what they carried in their pockets. I used to work in my fathers store as a kid and gave out change to customers, I guess that isw where it came from.

 

1946 Roosevelt Dime

 

Cool idea, I like it. Get yourself a P-Touch and make those labels look good.

 

I have one, just being lazy

 

Pretty Ladies? Just a guess!

 

No what the heck is the theme. I thought Barber

 

You seem to be well on you way

 

Design change

 

Now you need to get Whitman or one of the other album producers to put out an album like yours.

 

1915-1916 though... the half changed in 1915 but the Barber dime and quarter went into 1916. Maybe that's too picky. (I think we can ignore the 1913 Liberty nickels).

 

The Mercury dime was issued in 1916

 

I didn't state that very well. My point was that you could have two different sets for 1916 since the dime and quarter overlap.
