Excellent looking nickel Dansco Album! I have always wondered why Dansco added the proofs starting at 1971 in stead from the beginning...  I see that you have a label maker to finish off the last page. Depending on what type of label maker you are using, you should be able to get label tape that is clear with black ink. |

I took a break from organizing my cent collection to update a Dansco nickel binder that I started many years ago. All the coins are uncirculated and most are BU. Using a blank page, I extended the dates through 2017 and filled the remaining blank holes with "special" nickels like the SMS and reverse cameo proof. An outstanding album! |

The logic about proofs seems reasonably consistent. If they included Philadelphia struck proofs, then it adds 1938-1942 and 1950-1964. Also SMS from1965-1967, and the aforementioned San Francisco proofs with S mint mark from 1968-1970.
It probably would have been reasonable to go back to 1950, but the 1938-1942 block is relatively expensive, and I'm not sure you'd want expensive proofs in an exposed album.

By the way, the 8166 Kennedy half dollar album is the only one that breaks the proof-only rule. It has a separate hole for the 1964 Proof, as well as separate holes for the 1965-1967 SMS coins. |

Fantastic set, congratulations on completing it!  I love a nice BU Jefferson album. I'm working on upgrading mine. |

Thanks.. I really enjoyed completing this one. Looking for the various 2004 and 2005 kind of threw me off, but after a little research, I figured it out. There sure are some beautiful proofs in this album/binder.

Awesome album and set! I love the Jefferson nickel series. So many coins to collect, and no stoppers essentially. I would assume you must have also had this Dansco album for a considerable time, as they haven't made the album with the last page that features dates extending beyond 2005 for quite some time. One of the things I dislike about Dansco honestly, is the way they lay out their albums sometimes. The newer Jefferson albums stop at 2005, and then the rest of the entire page is blank ports. |

Humanist1287.. Thanks for your comment. The new Dansco that I used to "rebuild" this album stopped at 2011 so I purchased the last blank page to take it a little further.
