[QUOTE="Darkhorse, post: 988640, member: 3454"]Hi All, Here's a not-so-exciting update of how my Type Set is going. I got bored today and went to a coin shop to fill in a couple of holes. Not much on the first page. The 1905 cent is new, it's very brown and semi lustrous with nice details. [img]http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/coins/7070a.jpg[/img] Page 2 is pretty pathetic. It's sad, really. [img]http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/coins/7070b.jpg[/img] Page 3 is shaping up to be my very favorite though. All various circ grades, with the years of tarnish sort of augmenting their designs. [img]http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/coins/7070c.jpg[/img] On Page 4 I added a Bay Bridge (an under-appreciated commem as far as I'm concerned. I love the art deco design), an 1898 dollar, and I plugged in a clad commem in the Kennedy commem hole. Why? Why not? For the older dollars, I think I'll include some unusual coins - a holed seated dollar maybe, a very VERY worn motto, and maybe a trade with lots of chops (maybe I'll put in a high quality counterfeit - HA!).
