geekpryde's "Box of 100" CAC Type Set

Very nice set! I like the idea of combining a Dansco 7070 style type set with a box of 20-and being outside an album gives you more freedom to avoid certain items and add others.

I am a fan of your one SMS (SP) coin-that 1998 Kennedy is cool and I think belongs in a type set.

The Feuchtwanger and US Philippines 50 Centavos are fun additions as well. Both caught my eye.

There are many other highlights too. I look forward to seeing the developments of this set as well as the photos of the special holders.

I don't know what charley saw but I suspect some might see this as a problem coin. Some of the dark spots hiding in the crevices could be an issue (not sure if it is just dirt, corrosion, or pvc). CAC seems to be more conservative lately and there is a chance they would not resticker that coin today (even if it kept the same cert number-although they would likely offer some compensation/buy offer if they felt it was no longer CAC-worthy).

 

83 thru 93 or 93 to 103?

 

I have a few slots missing and definitely would use different parameters. Thats a fun box of 83, I mean 100.

 

I think it was a reference to this:

Box Position (3): 1854 Half Cent - Coronet, Braided Hair C-1 PCGS AU50 BROWN CAC [this coin will be re-slabbed soon]

 

Ah I see,
I was thinking it was the reserved space for future installments to the set. Again @charley and I don't see eye to eye. SAME OLE' SAME OLD.

 

Do you see anything wrong with that 1854? I speculated in the post above yours that it might have an issue that CAC would now consider serious enough to not sticker it.

 

The wear pattern looks really odd, but could be explained by muted luster and lighting.

 

Nice to see you back at it. I’m on an extended hiatus myself from actively collecting. As between massive life changes and work i don’t have the time motivation and often the funds. But I still enjoyed e when we used to meet up for pizza beer and coin stuff

 

Well done presentation of some really really nice coins. Bravo @geekpryde

 

@geekpryde the scratches and clouding of the plastic are definitely a nuisance on that slab. Are they bad enough where you aren't able to polish it out?

Here is one thread about that:

Great collection! IMO the 1807/1808 CBH is a slot needs filled yet. About my favorite coin.

 

I just saw that post as well.
A Doily plus CAC Ike is definitely special in the holder world! I'm a fan.

 

That's a nice looking toned Jefferson! I like including the first year of the type in your set. And at 67+ along with the color, you chose a super eye appealing example.
