I am doing 20th century type sets (nothing to fancy the whole set will likely have a value of $300 when its done, the better coins in the set obviously being the Morgan and Peace Dollars and the Type 1 Standing Liberty Quarter) in the Whitman albums for each boy along with proof sets from the year they were born. I was thinking of adding the commemorative dollars and the silver proof sets from there birth years as well.
