Yeah, that's a weird album sort of. I believe it's a bit older and I don't think Dansco even produces that particular one anymore. It's like an odd hybrid of Buffalo and Jeffersons. I got the album yesterday, though. Looks fairly decent. I have an extra page also that I'm not sure what to do with. Lol. First two pages are my Buffalo nickels, then the third is for my Liberty nickels. Maybe I will add some kind of proofs to the last page, or just take it out and utilize it somewhere else.

Yeah! I like it. I think I will in the future try to start hunting some nicer Buffalo nickels, though. I've sort of lost track of which ones are which on the first page, since most of them on it are acid treated coins. I did set it up similar to how Dansco lays out their album though, so shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I definitely am! I think if I could find those pages from that album, I'd pick it up, swap the pages, and use those instead. I hate how many coin series have stoppers lol I feel like for me, the only coin series that doesn't is the Jefferson nickels. Well, maybe Roosevelt dimes, too.

Quote: I hate how many coin series have stoppers lol Yeah. I am sure you remember how I feel about that 1922 "plain" hole in the 8100.  Quote: Well, maybe Roosevelt dimes, too. The 1996-W hole in the 8125 is close to being one, but at least it is somewhat affordable.

Yep! Same here. I personally don't really like adding coin info myself to blank pages. Unfortunately, this time around, I may have to considering I've lost track of what Buffalo nickels are what. Lol. I feel like it would be easier just buying some more blank pages, but finding some that don't have the "die varieties" is quite an expensive task. I found another one for 40 dollars. That's essentially 20 dollars a page... QUITE expensive. Lol. I'm even more hesitant considering the album is USED and there are no returns on it. Lol. Probably not a good investment on my part. They do happen to have a Washington quarter Dansco album however from 1932-1998, the non proof version. I would like to get one of these. But again, being used and no returns for 50+ dollars... Eh.. I'm kind of hesitant. I'd like to get into the Washington quarter series, though. I feel like they are interesting coins. I honestly prefer them much more than the state, national park and women's quarters.

One thing I have considered for the blanks pages is adding a backing page with the details on it. I got the idea from the Presidential and ATB albums that have backing pages with extra information. The 1932-1998 Washington quarter collection is a worthy choice.

That's actually a pretty good idea. I normally wouldn't care honestly, but like I said, with having so many dateless Buffalo nickels.. it might be necessary lol

For what it is worth, two pages will hold the full set of Buffalo nickels with room to spare... dateless nickels make good fillers for those empty holes at the end. Just saying.

A good observation! I also like using 2005 Jeffersons with the bison reverse. That kind of fits, too.

Yeah! That is where I got the idea honestly. Lol. I also implemented sort of what you suggested and took a light pencil to the back of my pages for the Buffalo nickels. I only lost two essentially so far in that I don't know what they are. Lol.  This was a good subtle way for me without having to be too OCD with my writing. Lol. I also followed the non die variety pages.  My small V nickel collection. Obviously, I don't really need to add any dates or anything like that here.  I'm still not sure what to add on the fourth page. But time will tell! I love nickels, though. So many cool kinds.

Pencil on the back-side is not a bad idea. Looking good!
