Thought I would share an update on my constant quest! LOL. Here are some photos of how the collection has manifested. Since last time, I've opted for a dansco. I decided to go to 59 with the proofs. All the holes that are blank just need to be either unslabbed and put in, or just put in! So the final count on missing items is: 09-S 09-S VDB 14-D 22 "no D" mixed feeling about this. 70-S Small date 70-S Small date proof. Thanks for taking a look!           |

Looks like no one is making room for all the 2009's. I used a blank page for those in my Whitman Albums. Used their press on letters/numbers to make the info. They didn't have anything for plated so I used Clad. Sort of like cladding a layer on top of a coin. Looks a bit sloppy but works for me.  |

Yes, no room for the coppers only plated in the dansco. It would really bother me if I didn't have the chronicles set. Which I prefer to keep stock from the mint.
Carl, I'm curious to see the differences in photos from your sets 1-10. Did they come as a result of constant upgrades or did you simultaneously build all 10?

Tell me about it! I actually have my eye on one right now. I think my goal of AU won't likely happen for that one lol. However, a local dealer has one that he graded at "Fine". I've never dealt with him, but he is really old school in his grading--or at least that's what he impressed upon me. This "fine" in my honest opinion if I posted here would get "extra fine" attention!
His asking price was wayyyyyyyyy reasonable and I should have just bought it. I gave it the old "let me think about it", and I haven't been able to stop.
I am going to try to wait a week to see if I still can't stop thinking about it, and it I can't, I will go back!
From the impression I got, people aren't knocking down his door to buy a 14-D, but you never know!
If its there it's truly meant to be!

Carl, I'm curious to see the differences in photos from your sets 1-10. Did they come as a result of constant upgrades or did you simultaneously build all 10? Horribly slow process. I do this with all my Albums. I start with one Album of any type, place any grade coin in it to fill the empties. I don't like empty slots. Eventually the Album is full so I start to upgrade once coin at a time. As a new coin goes inot an Album, the old one goes into a 2x2 for storage. Eventually those 2x2's are sufficient enough to start Album #2. This process goes on and on and on and. Each Album becomes a lesser than the last one in grade per coin. I have 12 Mercury dimes, 8 Indian Head, 8 Jefferson nickel, etc. which is why I have well over 100 Albums. The worst part of this process is if I acquire a coin in the highest possible grade for a set #1, the one in #1 goes to #2, from #2 to #3, from #3 to #4 and most of the day is now shot. Picture this process in 12 sets of Mercury dimes. Next worst part is I also now have 9 of those Red Whitman,2 row, boxes full of 2x2's with duplicates. Edited by just carl

Joe, what proofs do you need? I've got two Lincoln danscos with proofs and many multiples. I might could help you out.
