Jefferson Nickel Set CAPS V/S Dansco - Photos

Debrajc ... thank you for the information. I am just about done ( yeah right ) with my collecting all the type and world coins i'll ever need, at least for now and my retirement project will be Jeffersons to the end.
I already have all my Franklins in capsules so I might get a folder for that.
This was a great product report as well as a wonderful show and tell!

Debrajc: I can't thank you enough for all of this great information. I am definitely going to go with CAPS and I'm going to customize the albums.

I'm still debating if I want to have business strikes together and separate pages for proof and satins. It might be nice to have all the proofs together. I might need sunglasses to protect my eyes from the extreme shininess of all those proofs.

crusherjc: Good to know about the font issue. I agree, mixing pre-made pages with custom pages with mismatched fonts would bother me too.

I guess the solution is to go with all custom pages.

BTW, dimensionally how large are the albums?

Oooooooooooo I like that set up. Many of my Jefferson duplicates are already in the correct capsules.
30 to a page. Nice. Thank you for those images and info.

Debrajc: CAPS should hire you to run their marketing team!

This latest series of photos is great. It appears that I could use either direct fit, or insert ring type air-tites so long as they are A size.

And the albums themselves aren't much bigger than standard binders.

Thanks again for all your help.

It'll probably take a while (looks like a project for the fall/winter) but I'll post pictures of my progress with the big nickel migration to their new CAPS home.

I like this page I found where I can order custom pages.

I can type in the date mint grade and add a little FS for full steps notation. For example 1938 S TY1 MS65 FS fits with 2 spaces to spare.
The Title on top can also be typed in.
It is going to take quite a lot of time to pick out my very favorite keepers in my duplicates and catalog them into the custom pages. I am going to do this though, I have to come up with a theme for the set.

Amazing stuff, Debrajc!

A couple more quick responses then I will go.
Your welcome @jbuck! I am a big fan of Eisenhower dollars too.

@Quantonica - I haven't bought a USB microscope. Enjoy your vacation and let us know how it goes.

@spruett - Yes, it includes the 1943/2, the SMS coins as well as both matte issues.

@USSID - Celticknot answered your question very nicely.
Unless the inner diameter of the coin has diminished substantially there is no rattle.
I would imagine heavily circulated Mercury dimes could have a rattle a problem.

@einstein - Thank you SO much for the wonderful write and detailed information.
You saved me A LOT of typing! And yes, Valley Coin is a great retailer for these.
Looking forward to your pics. I have the Presidential Proof album as well.

@TheNickelGuy. I posted the Franklin album earlier today.
Glad to see there are enough spaces for custom pages to be labeled the way you need.

@NJBob - Well thanks again for the email that started this thread.
I look forward to seeing pics of your project.

Peace - Out,

Debra
