United States Type Coin Collection
OK, let's try this again. Couldn't put all the pictures into "Collections", so we'll do it this way. Found these old Whitman folders in a lot of stuff I purchased when we had our own shop. Decided to gradually try to complete the set. It's gonna take awhile though, since there are 46 slots in the first book (not including the "Rare" coins), and 31 slots in the second book. (Not including 1 "Rare") Many I already have in my collection, but have decided to purchase additional specimens to fill them, many of which will be better date or better grade. Not all, and not necessarily HIGH grade. You know, it's really about what makes you feel good, not the actual value, and resources are a little limited. Anyway, here's what I have so far. Grades given are my best estimate, although I am NOT an expert. (But I do pretty well most of the time.)
Book 1: Book 2:
1858 Flying Eagle F12 1841 O Seated Liberty quarter VG8
1859 CN Indian Head F12 1854 w/ Arrows Seated Liberty quarter VG8
1864 Bronze Indian Head G4 1876 CC Seated Liberty quarter VG10
1909 VDB Lincoln cent VF30 1932 Washington quarter F15
1915 S Lincoln cent F12 1894 Barber half dollar G4
1943 S Steel Lincoln cent EF45 1938 D Walking Liberty half dollar VF20
1981 Lincoln Memorial cent AU58 1892 S Morgan silver dollar VG8
1858 Silver 3 cent piece F12 1877 S Trade dollar EF40
1853 w/ Arrows Seated Liberty Half dime VF20
1883 No cents Liberty Nickel VF20
1914 Buffalo Nickel F12
1875 Seated Liberty dime F15

Thanks! I’ve got a couple more new additions, but my wife has been sick, and I haven’t had much extra time lately. Hopefully I can make some posts on those soon.

Best of luck, that is going to be such a satisfying accomplishment when you complete the folders. Keep us posted on progress.

I will keep you posted. Much of it will be a long time coming, if I live long enough. Some of the really old stuff I may not get, as it’s kind of pricey, even in LOW grade. I’ll just have to wait and see.

Looks like an exquisite collection, beautiful black binder. Sorry I can't make out the coins enclosed. Thanks for your blog.

They’re listed in the blog, with my estimated grades. If you’re viewing it on your computer, it’s a lot more organized, than if it’s on your phone. At least it does on mine. I have an iPhone. Not sure if that makes a difference either.

Looks like a nice start for a type set.

Great start on your types. That Trade dollar is amazing. We are almost done with our Mexican old Type coins. Next we start up, again on our US type set. We bought a Dansco 7070 album. Those were hard to get back then. Well good luck and keep us informed on progress. Thanks.

Yeah, for 5 years I was a dealer/collector. It was tough because I got A LOT of stuff I really wanted to keep, but still was trying to make a profit. Did end up with some great coins that went into my collection. 😺
