That's a beautiful set. Must have taken you a long time to hunt some of that down.
All the circ/proof albums never include the coins pre 1968. For dimes it wouldn't be super tough to get em together, but still costly. Imagine having to find and pay for a 1936 quarter or cent for those circ/proof collections.

Nice looking set. I am sure it feels good to to have it filled. Quote:
And I have always had a question about this set. Didn't they make proofs for roosevelts starting in 1950? Why does the album start proofs in 1968? With coins dated 1964 and older, in this case I think I am talking about 1936 - 1964, because I am not sure about older classic coins. Philadelphia made a business strike and a proof type coin, Dansco does not provide a slot for both. Same as with the Satin finish coins, they provide a slot for P and D coins, the collector decides which coin to fill it with. With the Lincoln cents (8100) album, you will see spaces for "S" mint coins, starting in 1968 when the San Francisco mint opened back up. Some of those years there were both S mint proof and business coins, but one slot. Even 1970 there are two S mint spots, small and large date. But Dansco does not say which Lincoln to place in the slot, proof or business strike. I think it would be safe to say that Dansco provides one slot for each mint, when that mint made coins for any given year, and the collector decides what coin to fill the space. The exception would be silver and clad coins, those years have a slot for both. |

Thanks for the detailed reply Tom! That question was driving me crazy and I never cared to ask until now.

Thanks for posting pics of your collection. It's interesting to see what others are collecting. I have all the clad Rosies and am working on my silver Rosies now.
Can I send you a 2010-D, 2010-P and a 2011-D fresh from bank rolls to go in your album? Thank you for your wonderful offer. My son has already retrieved said coins above (I am not to know about it) and is going to give them to me on my Birthday.  |

 Just WOW. Nice set. I didn't know Dansco made that set with places for the Silver ones. I've got several Whitman Albums and none have a place for those. That is an empressive set. Edited by just carl

Awesome set. Actually all of the sets you just posted are awesome. And I have always had a question about this set. Didn't they make proofs for roosevelts starting in 1950? Why does the album start proofs in 1968? Not only interesting but a bit confusing. For example it is obvious that these are in a Dansco Album. Proofs slots starting in 1968S. However, in my Whitman Classic Album for Roosevelt dimes, Proofs don't start until 1971S. And true, proofs were available from 1950 to present except for a few oddball years like 65 to 67. So why the differences? Why the omissions in previous years. Odd too is the places for Silver Proofs in a Dansco but none in the Whitman. Anyone with other brands like Littleton, Interecept Shield, etc. to notice any other differences? Edited by just carl

Very super looking set. I love the cameo's and the dcam are mind blowing. Did you have to aquire proof sets for them or do they sell proof singles?

Very impressive! Those silver proofs really pop at at you. I think what makes the Dansco proof thing so confusing too is that it is not consistent between the different coins, and it is not just with proofs. Kennedy's- the only one to have business strikes & SMS, Proofs start in 64 Quarters & Dimes -Proofs start in 68 Nickel - Proofs start in 71 Penny- Proofs are not noted just "S" mint You would think they would at least be consistent?.?.? |
