Congrats on the collection. It is a marvelous experience to complete a coin set.
If you choose to use a Dansco album for your Ikes in the future, there will be 4 empty holes. Some have filled those spots with the blue UNC tokens, others have used the different Ike varieties. I have chosen to use the 1990 proof & UNC Eisenhower commem and the 2013 proof & UNC 5-Star General commemoratives.
I also recommend using the Dansco album cover, it is one more layer of protection for your coins.
Just something to think about.
Good luck.

"Complete" but not "finished."
You have all of these dates but wish to upgrade.
"Upgrading disease" afflicts approximately 100% of collectors in your shoes.
They say,
"Nice, but I want to replace this and that and the other thing."
No cure is known except to replace and to upgrade.
I suffer as well.

@Welder: Thanks for the info! I'll probably fill those extra holes with the Blue Ike token (glad I saved one!), my 1973-S clad proof (the only proof Ike I have, which I pulled from circulation) and my 1921(P) Morgan silver dollar, since that's the only other large size dollar I have in my collection at the moment. I did take some pictures last night but wasn't pleased with how they turned out. Edited by hcmusicguy

I have them all in the white stapled 2x2's In my experience, storing coins in cardboard 2X2s can turn the coins a faint yellow/brown color over the years. Edited by Classic Coins

They aren't going to stay that way much longer; a Dansco is in the cards in the near future!
