<p>[QUOTE=&quot;umtrr-author, post: 143956, member: 5719&quot;]The collection about which I am most serious right now is the 20th Century Type Set (and I include the Sac dollar since, technically, the year 2000 was the last year of the 20th Century).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It turns out that I had better coins than I remembered I had... a 1913 Type I Buffalo Nickel that is in the range of AU to Uncirculated.&nbsp; I have no memory of buying it!&nbsp; Also a Barber Half that my local dealer says is a better than solid F but not quite a VF.&nbsp;&nbsp; All of the coins types from after 1950 are proofs, going back to the Franklin Half.&nbsp; Put together, it&#039;s a nice set and I am in the process of &quot;upgrading&quot; the coins.&nbsp; Next on the list is a better Liberty Nickel.&nbsp; I&#039;ve already bumped up the Barber Dime and Quarter, the Indian Cent and the Walking Liberty Half.&nbsp; All at reasonable prices that are still way more than a kid on an allowance had in the 1970&#039;s though.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I digress.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I keep them in pages, in 2x2s except for the dollars which are in 2 1/2 x 2 1/2s.&nbsp; (The SBA dollar is in a 2x2 that is in a 2 1/2 x 2 1/2... yeah, I know that seems silly, but I didn&#039;t know how else to keep them in the same page as the Morgan and Peace and the Eisenhowers.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have no markings on the holders either. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for Thalia, she has reaped the benefit of some of my &#039;upgrades&#039; and the generosity of the members of the club that I&#039;m in (as they are with all the juniors!) as well as my dad, and she almost has a complete Whitman folder with entry level type coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
