Wow, I never thought it was that high. But it doesn’t affect me anyway. I’m a quality snob. If it looks good enough for my set, it’ll be expensive. I keep my “regular” 1934 - 1938D BU short set in a Capital Plastics holder. There’s only one I might need to upgrade - the ‘34D. It’s not as lustrous as the others.

I just looked up those type coin holders. Those are very neat but your right about them being expensive. I seen some around $80 to $90 a piece. Very beautiful though. Bet they look good filled with some lusterous coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, what is up wit dat? I got many at coin auctions for dirt cheap. Some I snagged from junk bins at supplier booths at coin shows. I got a bag of over a hundred plastic screw sets for a dollar at one PA auction. The one I’m looking for now is a Franklin Proof 1950-1963.

That's really expensive. I assume it must be the ones for full sets like the Indian Head QE and HE. Or, maybe 20th century US type set. I owned the singles back in the 70's. I believe it cost between $1 and $2. Hoghead515 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
