Why isn't This Type Dime In Dansco Type Coin Album

That is an interesting way for them to tie products together.

Yea I will probably never own a chain or wreath set unless it is poor condition, heck even a g4 chain set has a retail value of $7000 and a wreath cent at g4 is $2000. But I still want to try and put that set together, heck you could always put a counterfiet in there until you either get a real one or hit the lottery :)

I have mentioned before that I have custom album with six blank pages (two cents, two nickels, two dimes) that I use to hold my Indian Head cents, Buffalo nickels, and Mercury dimes. I also have another album with blank pages to hold the "ultra-modern" cent, nickel, and dime releases as my original Dansco albums have filled up.

For Dansco to have all of the major types of Half Dimes they would need holes for the following varieties:
No Stars, Obverse 1837-38
Stars on Obverse, No Drapery at elbow 1838-40
Stars on Obverse Drapery at elbow 1840-59
Arrows at Date 1853-55
Legend on Obverse 1860-73

How they would decide which of the dime, quarters and halves to include would be quite a challenge since there are so many obverse and reverse varieties that can be considered major enough to warrant a hole for each combination of them.

I have begun to assemble my version of a Liberty Seated coinage type set which will ultimately total 40 coins.
Here is a list of the coins I have included in the set:

Yes sirdizzy, it is quite an ambitious undertaking but at least it is one that can be accomplished. I like the seated liberty design and there is no way that I could ever assemble complete sets of any of the various denominations, there are too many "stoppers" in each so I got out my Red Book and did a little research and discovered that a set of all of the major types could be attainable. I have five Half Dimes (four obverses and one reverse variety), one dime, two quarters and one Trade dollar so far. My goal is a set grading no less than AU-50 and not more than AU-58 and to finish it in four years.

I see a lot of people advocating going albumless, some of us really enjoy our albums though. I love my albums and the ability to open it up and just see all those coins displayed right there in front of me. I would never go albumless if I did anything I would go blank page albums and fill it with what I want.

I do wish they made a slab album that would be cool like they have a proof set album.

jbuck that is the beauty of collecting, one can build a collection to how they like it. Me personally I am an album person so I can see all the coins laid out right there in front of you in all their glory, others might like slabbed set. I would do slabbed sets if their were albums for them but that would be one bulky album.
