Message:: [QUOTE="Coinman1981, post: 771761, member: 20610"]I put mine in the Capital 23-coin 20th century set -- I began mine in the late 90s, before the State quarters. I've often considered going about building a larger 20th century set, which would include clads as well as silver coins, the steel cent, the wartime nickel, and Type I versions of the SLQ and Buffalo nickel.  But the Capital holder I have mine in has become quite sentimental; my now-late mother bought it for me and was always asking how my "white [Capital] frame" was "coming along." I spent 10 years upgrading the coins in it....They were originally all Good-Fine, and now I've worked up to a minimum Choice XF set (most coins are BU), and everything has luster. I may someday sell my the rest of my collection for financial help, but THAT 20th century set is STAYING PUT in my hands!!!! By the way, are you shooting for at least one coin of each decade and at least one mintmark from all that operated during the 20th century? That's how I assembled my set. I wasn't sure about including a coin from West Point because, technically, there is no "W" mintmark on circulating coinage.....The 1996-W dime was sold as a numismatic specimen. West Point did strike circulating coinage, but never stamped a mintmark on those coins.[/QUOTE]
