Message:: [QUOTE="Collect89, post: 461244, member: 15445"]high grade circulated coins w/ honest wear Consider using the 20th Century Type Set holder from Capital Plastics.  I just took this photo of the Capital holder I have mounted on the wall in front of my desk (I moved the photo of my family so it wouldn’t be in the picture).  The Capital plastic holder allows you to view the reverse side of all the coins.  The coins are not tightly fit in the holder so excessive handling can cause the coins to shift around. You can put the Capital plastic in a frame or you can just lean it against the wall as I have done. This particular type set was put together with coins that have some plain vanilla toning & look their age.  The Liberty nickel was originally in a PCGS PF62 holder.  The Barber half was purchased specifically for the set in an NGC 58 holder.  The standing liberty quarter was purchased from Ebay in an ANACS 63 holder.  The Barber dime is a raw XF45 but it’s never been cleaned.  The dollars are uncirculated & just look their age. Have fun putting your 20th Century type set together.  Don’t be in any hurry to complete it.  Take the time to find some nice coins & the set will be worth more for your effort.  I suggest that you go for high grade circulated coins with honest wear.  Avoid any damaged or harshly cleaned coins.
