My current set of BU Lincoln Cents and Proofs I am working on are going in Air-Tites and eventually CAPS Album. However I do still have a not so completed set of circulated Wheat Cents that I've had from way back when in a sub-par Harco album. I would like to get those moved over to a Dansco Album but I just can't decide which option to go with. I'll be replacing most of the Memorial Cents since they didn't fare too well the in album. Most of the Wheat Cents are fine being circulated and just a couple have some corrosion that I'll replace and slowly start to fill in with just circulated Wheats. I just can't decide if I want to do the 8100/8104 option with proofs or the 7100/7104 option without proofs. It's odd the 7100 is selling for $56 but the 8100 with proofs is only $44. That's why I'm leaning toward the 8100 but I just don't know if I should mess with a second set of proofs. But as I get the back dated proof and silver proof sets, I will end up with and extra proof cent and would just need to get the extra ones prior to 1992. Since it's a do-over, I just don't want to choose wrong and regret not adding the proofs and then try and add them at the end when I could have just had the proper spaces. I guess basically, it's a do I add proof or no proofs question...ugh I can't decide

Might as well go with the proofs included. It will be a more complete album and you save 12 bucks - enough to buy some proofs!

So, what did you decide to do?
I had mulled over this question continuously, as you know. I ultimately decided to stay with my 7100 album.
I was content enough being able to add proofs in an extra page if I wanted to.

I have them sitting in my cart but I don't know about spending that much all at once. I have a hard time deciding, do I buy albums or coins, basically for that price I could finish off my last SBA graded coin instead. But I know I will obsess about it until I get the albums.

I think Wizard Coin Supply has the 8100 for incredibly cheap right now.
I would sell you one of my 7100 albums for a decent price, if I thought that was something you might be into. However, I haven't quite figured out what I plan on doing with both of them yet.

Wizard ebay is the cheapest right now. Wizard's regular site has it for more but the 8104 is cheaper there but the shipping is not cost effective. So I will just get them from their Wizard ebay listing.

Yeah, there is a big difference between Wizard's store, Amazon store and ebay stores. Their ebay store always seems to be the cheapest, with free shipping.

I went with the 8100/8104 combo after much debate, and never looked back after that.

I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Dansco 8100 and 8104 albums from Wizard on ebay. The prices changed from when I was first looking at them but I did an offer on the 8100 and the price of the 8104 went down, so its kinda the same in the end.
