<p>[QUOTE="Southpawdon, post: 5565760, member: 101593"][ATTACH=full]1241349[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1241350[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1241351[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1241352[/ATTACH] Thanks to CoinTalk members for helping me to formulate a way to display my TPG type set. I wanted to be able to show both sides of the coins, so I have used some notebooks obtained from Wizard Supply (great to deal with by the way). I defined my own set and came up with 111 different coins to display. I wanted to do this for my grandkids who have no idea what US coins looked like in the past. I originally did not want to use detailed coins, but determined from discussion on the forums that they too had value. My key is now to obtain the best quality item I can afford that clearly shows the major details of the coins. I think the lowest grade in the collection so far is AG 3 for an 1807 Draped Bust Large cent. I also manufacture sports plaques so I have an engraver in my basement and used it to make the labels for each coin. I have 64 of the 111, 4 of which are not in the album but in mint sets. Here are a few pictures...hope you like them. Looking to add a Morgan dollar after 1878. Maybe a low mintage under appreciated one of high quality. Any suggestions?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
