<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MadMartigan, post: 1847525, member: 58925&quot;]I am a huge huge huge type collector I have thought about doing a type set for every major album Dansco, Whitman, Intercept Shield and Littleton.&nbsp; I have done extensive research into all the albums and am currently working on a Dansco 7070, a whitman 20th century and with another whitman 20th century and whitman 20th and 21st century planned for latter on in the year.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most popular is the Dansco 7070 which has 76 holes, the simpler ones are the Whitman (whitman is 43 very small type set) and Littleton albums and the most extensive at 86 is the Intercept Shield.</p><p><br /></p><p>All of them offer even more gutted down simpler versions like there 20th and 20th and 21st century albums.&nbsp; The best is 20th century album is the Whitman at 39 slots and with great varieties like all the silver ikes and copper ikes and t1 buffalos and standing liberty quarters.&nbsp; The 20th and 21st century added all the newer coins but got rid of the varieties making the set 40 coins.</p><p>Additions to the new set with 21st century</p><p>2009, Lincoln Cent: Centennial </p><p>2010-date, Lincoln Cent: Shield reverse</p><p><br /></p><p>2004-2005, Jefferson Nickel: Westward Journey</p><p>2006-date, Jefferson Nickel: Return to Monticello</p><p><br /></p><p>1999-2008, Washington Statehood Quarter</p><p>2009, Washington Territorial/DC Quarter</p><p>2010-2021, Washington National Parks Quarter</p><p><br /></p><p>2000-2008, Sacagawea Dollar</p><p>2009-date, Native American Dollar</p><p>2007-date, Presidential Dollar </p><p><br /></p><p>So that is an additional 10 coins but they only added one spot so what did they take away it looks like they did away with all the varieties to not increase the size of the set.</p><p><br /></p><p>Retractions from the 20th Century set</p><p>1909, Lincoln Cent: VDB</p><p><br /></p><p>1913, <a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_nickels/buffalo.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_nickels/buffalo.asp" rel="nofollow">Buffalo nickel</a>: Type 1</p><p>1938-1965/1966-date Jefferson Nickel (down to one spot 1938-2003, this was an odd addition anyways as the Nickel didn&#039;t change in 1966)</p><p><br /></p><p>1916-1917, <a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_quarter_dollars/standing_liberty.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_quarter_dollars/standing_liberty.asp" rel="nofollow">Standing Liberty quarter</a>: Type 1</p><p>1976, Washington Bicentennial Quarter: Silver Clad</p><p><br /></p><p>1976, Kennedy Bicentennial Half: Silver Clad</p><p><br /></p><p>1971, <a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/eisenhower.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/eisenhower.asp" rel="nofollow">Ike dollar</a>: Silver Clad</p><p>1976, <a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/eisenhower.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/eisenhower.asp" rel="nofollow">Ike dollar</a>: Type 2 (went to just one 1976 dollar)</p><p>1976, <a href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/eisenhower.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincommunity.com/us_dollars/eisenhower.asp" rel="nofollow">Ike dollar</a>: Silver Clad</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Littletons 20st century is very weak at just 29 coins and the only coin not in either other 20th century set is the Silver Eagle but the set is weak.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have excel spreedsheets of comparison of almost all the sets as well as pictures, still don&#039;t have whats in the Intercept Shield set but I need to get that if anyone wants to help me whos done it.&nbsp; So you have 4 major companies each offer a type set and each offer just a 20th century type set and some 20th and 21st century sets.&nbsp; Dansco is the most popular of course but the most comprehensive is the Intercept.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now if you want a real mans type look into the Whitman book series type set from the 1960&#039;s (it won&#039;t have any modern coins in it as it doesn&#039;t even have ike dollars but you could grab some of the 20th century sets and do those) and it includes all earlier coinage you mentioned and its a beast.&nbsp; It was done as two volumes large coins and small coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
