Vintage 20th Century Type Set ( Capitol CS-80 )

sixsix/Mike- got your response and thanks. A couple more comments - no, the silver eagles are bullion, not coins, although it does state a denomination ("One Dollar"), they are as shown in the Red Book - bullion. Interestingly, Dansco, on the new page 6 of their type set album, have a single space for "Statehood Quarters", with "Single Specimen" below it. They did get this right, in my opinion, so only one of the 56 is required. And, the same should work for the new series of Presidential dollars. We'll never get a consensus, but the conversation will be interesting, right? On we go. Ted in Cumming (GA).

Hello all,

georgiacracker - at least I'll save a few bucks there - I always thought the 'Special' Silvers ( Eagles, etc. ) and ALL the gold to be "Bullion" as you say. Shoot, Silver Dollars are nearly that way too. Not 'everyday' coins like nickels and quarters, etc..

And about those Statehoods - I feel the same way - there should only be 1 to represent the "Type" Obv. and Rev. The rest are what I refer to as 20th Century "Varieties". I might agree with 1 of them from 2000, but no more than 2 ( 1 Obv and 1 for Rev ) as the rest came out in the 21st, right?


fishaddicit - yeah, ya' gotta' watch that grammar stuff with me... :whistle:
I can't read the sports page w/o doing a spell check on it first.
And thanks for the list of 50 - see if I got this right: 6 cents, 6 nickels, 4 dimes, 17 quarters, 8 halves and 9 dollars. I can understand including a FEW varieties in some sets if in Gem or UNC, so they are obvious, but gosh - that's a bunch of quarters...
I know - there should be a "20th Century Coin Type Varieties" Set. :smile
Grammar lesson aside, I like this Quote: "It isn't really that expensive either" - well, $50 to $100 for the VDB, $10 to $50 for the Type I Buffalo and $Thousands for the Type I SLQ ( if you can find one ), is a tad high for me. Maybe at a 'Good' rating, but I would rather see 'Fine' or better in a set like this.

Thanks ya'll for adding to the discussion,

Mike

 

A Few more Sets

PennyGuy,

Interesting what some will include...
Here's a few more sets including a 19th & 20th Centuries Set ( does anyone have a larger photo? ):

No reason for the Type I SLQ to cost thousands. Get a 1917 and the cost is MUCH lower.

 

You are right Condor101 - $70 is not too bad for a G-4, $100 for a Fine or so and the "No Stars" s/b plainly obvious.

Thanks,

Mike
