United States Type Coin collecting

Hi,
Does anyone here collect United States Type Coins and have a favorite album where there is a slot for everything from, I don't know, what year would you start with? Late 1700's to date?
I'm looking for a good album and a list of the US type coins and thought why reinvent the wheel - maybe someone here knows of a good album and where to see a list of all the types.
Thanks,
Rick

Dansco seems to be the industry standard

 

Dansco 7070 is the best that I'm aware of. It starts with the year 1800. Others may know of better albums. If there is one better I'd like to know of it also.

Check out some of the completed albums here: https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/ty...-dansco-7070-modified-type-set-1796-date/6136

 

Thanks! It does NOT include 1700's types? Does that leave any important holes?

 

7070 is popular, but not an exhaustive set of U.S. Types.

You'll get dozens of opinions, if not hundreds, about what constitutes the U.S. Type set.

There are registry sets on PCGS and NGC which might be a good place to start in order to get an idea of how to define your version of the U.S. Type Set that you want to collect.

 

Interesting. I would have thought the US Types would be set in stone. These are the coins that were minted in the US. Just like that. I guess not!
I'll check out your suggestion.
Thanks.

 

Do you want to add raw 179x coins to your set? I sure wouldn’t.

 

Here is my thread so you can see how the Intercept Shield albums look. I have exactly one coin to go.

Good idea buying certified large/half cents and busting them out of their holders. It’s a risky business if you’re not specialized on these.

 

Good point. But I'd like to see an album for those who can afford it. Maybe that's not me entirely, I'd have to look up prices. But one could for instance get a low quality 1797 Draped Bust for 4 bucks:

Ok, that was a joke! A copy coin. Although maybe one could do that if they wanted to!
Here's one for $249

I could do that.

But you are right - probably best to limit the expensive ones. Those older quarter eagles are pricey!

Thanks for your thoughts.

Very nice! 40 years in the making! Congrats on finishing...almost. What's the one you have to go and will you have it soon?
I see two empty slots - Liberty Seated with and without motto. I guess you filled one of them since you took the photos.
Thanks for the link. Nice.
Now I have to find one of those set albums. I can't find the Dansco 7070. Out of stock everywhere. Used one on Amazon for over a hundred bucks!
Maybe I'll have better luck finding an Intercept one.

 

Maybe the Intercept one is better?

A Dansco 7070 is the best in the market.

 

Can you say why it's better than Intercept's album? The reason I ask is that Dansco's type set album is out of stock everywhere I've looked.

 

It's very popular. Can't give you specifics but it's a great album.

 

Thanks. I'll check it out if I find one.

 

I got mine from Wizard but I believe they are out of stock.

 

Yes, they are OOS. I found a used one on ebay for $70 but that's high and I'm not sure I want a used one. I'll look more.

 

When they are in stock, Dansco sells them for $25. Ebay has some but quite expensive. $130 for a new one. $50, $60, $70 for used ones that are scuffed.
One new one with a fifth added page (?) for $89.
Brand new in shrink wrap for $95
