yeah, its a "Brother P Touch" label maker. I use the clear tape with black lettering and just cut the pieces of tape to put beneath each hole in the book. It really looks awesome and I have several blank quarters albums for things like the Satin and San Fransisco coins. I also have my 2009 and ATB proofs and silver proofs in their own blank quarter albums. I just prefer to customize with the coins I want. I will look for a link to the label maker. |

I was thinking something like this would look good on my Franklin set:  It also might give me cause to open the case and re-orient all the the Bens.

Is that your collection? Very nice and very cool holder.
Are you saying that you want to move those Bens into an album?

Yes - this is my collection. I made the holder back in the late 70s. It is 3 laters deep (thinner one in the middle). I was thinking of putting labels in between the 1st and 2nd plexi layers.
Actually, I am hoping one day to start trying to devise some plastic pages like this that would fit into a 3-ring. I have coins in albums, but hate the idea of cardboard being used in the pages since it can, and does, absorb moisture.

Hondo, what dates are in the Dansco 8166 and 8167 albums? I guess with all the proof coins this can get very large. I have the 7166 album and it has dates up to 2017 (and it is heavy).

Hey guys, Here is a shot from my custom nickel album. I took a blank four page dansco, and custom labled it, one page for shield, one liberty,two buffalo. Kind of got the idea from hondo posting it a while back. I used transfer rub on paper. The label part isn't as noticable with the naked eye as it is with the picture.  Customs are cool, you can see I added a racketeer spot on the liberty page. I would love to do a kennedy also, or a proof franklin. This year I want to focus on finsihing a bunch of albums, rather then start a new one, anyone know what I mean....lol. Aside from my walking liberty, still need several, Iv got a bunch of albums I just need 5 or less coins to complete. Edited by halfhunter

Very nice looking. What kind of "transfer rub on paper?" I have no experience with this. Smart idea combining those three sets of nickels into one album.

Hmm, I don't know what no FG means. Can someone please explain? I don't really collect Kennedy's though. But have 4 proofs and two non-proofs.

@solotime: A normal Kennedy half has the initials of the REV's designer on the back: Look just to the right where the eagle's tailfeathers start descending from his body and you see small FG  The No FG errors do not have this:  This may be due to polishing of the dies - or I have heard (but do not know) that maybe the original die did not have an FG - but need to take the time to google this and find out. I also know that some of the ones showing up on ebay are said to be No FG, yet you can see the FG in their pics! How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

You can get the sheets at decal paper . com. They have a video of how to do it, you print off your text in "reverse", to get it to transfer right.
I did one for canadian nickels, and I have one for the canadian penny set as well. Its a nice little project for a winter weekend if you dont have any coins to sort.

@HONDO,
Would love to see pics of the completed masterpiece. I really like your idea.

Will do! Just ordered the blank pages and gonna grab the albums later this coming week. I actually have used the rub on letters also. My dad has a collection of Roosevelt dimes in an old blue Whitman album. It stopped I think in 1961 so I bought the Whitman gold rub on letters for him to add the holes through 1964. They work really well also. |

Earle, have you considered getting thumb-cut pages and using Mylar flips? BadThad and I both have cent albums that are done this way (I yanked the idea from him) and I'm very pleased with mine--it has my cents in the front, then a couple of extra pages in the back that hold my silver (there isn't enough of it to make it worth having its own box, but there's too much to toss it in the Box of Non-Cents Miscellany). At some point in the future I want to get one of those P-Touch machines and label the slots I know will not be moving around (now that my Lincoln set is 2/3 complete I'll simply add IHC pages as needed, rather than rearrange every time I get a new IHC date). That was suggested to me by someone else on the forum when I first set up this album and now that I see how it looks, I definitely like the result. |
