<p>[QUOTE="Peter T Davis, post: 13897, member: 1"]I've been planning to start this for a while, and was wondering what comments I could get on the idea. I bought a Capital Plastics type set holder, and was thinking to fill it with one of the lowest mintage coins in each slot, as follows.</p><p><br /></p><p>Indian Cent: 1909-S</p><p>Lincoln Wheat: 1909-S VDB</p><p>Lincoln Memorial: 1960-P SD</p><p><br /></p><p>Liberty Nickel: 1912-S</p><p>Buffalo Nickel: 1926-S</p><p>Jefferson Nickel: 1950-D</p><p><br /></p><p>Barber Dime: 1901-S</p><p>Mercury Dime: 1916-D</p><p>Roosevelt Dime: 1949-S</p><p><br /></p><p>Barber Quarter: 1913-S</p><p>Standing Liberty Quarter: 1927-S</p><p>Washtington Quarter: 1932-S</p><p><br /></p><p>Barber Half: 1914</p><p>Walker Half: 1921-D</p><p>Franklin Half: 1948</p><p>Kennedy Half: 1970-D</p><p><br /></p><p>Morgan Dollar: 1903-S</p><p>Peace Dollar: 1928-P</p><p>Eisenhower Dollar: 1973-D</p><p>SBA Dollar: 1981-P</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I've fudged on a few items, for example the Roosevelt Dime, the 1955 is actually a lower mintage but the 1949-S seems like a more interesting mintage. The 1901S Barber Quarter and the 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter and a couple others, seems a bit pricey for me too, lol. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm also tempted to switch a few other dates. The 1916-D Merc, for example. If I stick to a under $500 per coin limit I might find one but it would be in poor condition. If I went for the 1921-D, that $500 would buy something in a much nicer condition. I'm already not strictly going with the lowest mintage by not going for the super-expensive ones. So, I guess I'm looking for comments on how to make the nicest type set of low-mintage coins not letting any one coin cost over $500.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
