Looks like no one is making room for all the 2009's. I used a blank page for those in my Whitman Albums. Used their press on letters/numbers to make the info. They didn't have anything for plated so I used Clad. Sort of like cladding a layer on top of a coin. Looks a bit sloppy but works for me.  |

Yes, no room for the coppers only plated in the dansco. It would really bother me if I didn't have the chronicles set. Which I prefer to keep stock from the mint.
Carl, I'm curious to see the differences in photos from your sets 1-10. Did they come as a result of constant upgrades or did you simultaneously build all 10?

Tell me about it! I actually have my eye on one right now. I think my goal of AU won't likely happen for that one lol. However, a local dealer has one that he graded at "Fine". I've never dealt with him, but he is really old school in his grading--or at least that's what he impressed upon me. This "fine" in my honest opinion if I posted here would get "extra fine" attention!
His asking price was wayyyyyyyyy reasonable and I should have just bought it. I gave it the old "let me think about it", and I haven't been able to stop.
I am going to try to wait a week to see if I still can't stop thinking about it, and it I can't, I will go back!
From the impression I got, people aren't knocking down his door to buy a 14-D, but you never know!
If its there it's truly meant to be!

I do this with all my Albums. I start with one Album of any type, place any grade coin in it to fill the empties. I don't like empty slots. Eventually the Album is full so I start to upgrade once coin at a time. As a new coin goes inot an Album, the old one goes into a 2x2 for storage. Eventually those 2x2's are sufficient enough to start Album #2. This process goes on and on and on and. Each Album becomes a lesser than the last one in grade per coin. I have 12 Mercury dimes, 8 Indian Head, 8 Jefferson nickel, etc. which is why I have well over 100 Albums. The worst part of this process is if I acquire a coin in the highest possible grade for a set #1, the one in #1 goes to #2, from #2 to #3, from #3 to #4 and most of the day is now shot. Picture this process in 12 sets of Mercury dimes. Next worst part is I also now have 9 of those Red Whitman,2 row, boxes full of 2x2's with duplicates. Edited by just carl

Joe, what proofs do you need? I've got two Lincoln danscos with proofs and many multiples. I might could help you out.

I am working on the Dansco proof album as well. A lot more holes though. Once I hit the mid 30's and earlier I am having to drop my grade requirement down to fine or so so I can afford some of them. Have not really attempted buying some of the keys yet. Those might go as low as good. LOL
