cheezyfryes Valued Member United States 359 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 2:07 pm Well, folks, it's been a few months since I last visited this topic. The summer was crazy busy for me! I've put more thought into the layout of my "custom 7070" album and made more tweaks. I had all the modern coinage at the end, similar to the way Intercept Shield did theirs. Then I got to thinking that really makes no sense as I'm master of the page order here. So, I integrated all modern coins back into their respective sections. I also added a few types based on recommendations. Please review my latest album pages and let me know what you think! Am I missing anything else? (PS, yes it irks me that I had to let the small cents and nickels spill over onto the next pages but it is what it is. ) Edited by cheezyfryes 08/26/2013 2:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189767 Posts	Posted 08/26/2013 3:50 pm I like it. Since you have the 40% Silver Kennedy half dollar, you could add a place for the 40% Silver Eisenhower dollar. You could take it a step further and add the 40% Silver for the three Bicentennial coins. That is as far as I will go. If I do not stop, you might end up with an extra page or three.

cheezyfryes Valued Member United States 359 Posts	Posted 08/27/2013 4:00 pm It's so hard to decide where to stop, jbuck! I considered the 40% Ike, then decided against it since the 40% Kennedys were circulated and the 40% Ike was NIFC. Then I realized that the Presidential dollars are now NIFC. And Commems are NIFC also but have a spot in there. I guess this shows again how nice it is to be able to change my album labels whenever I want. I had another idea, which was to print high quality photos of the older/rarer coins that I don't own instead of just having blank slots in my pages. If I were to do that, I could add all kinds of late 1700s coins that I'd never own outright. The challenge would be printing the coins at actual size... Hmm.... Report this Post to the Staff
cheezyfryes Valued Member United States 359 Posts	Posted 08/27/2013 4:20 pm ...turns out there is a way to print coin images in exact size with little effort. I can just copy the images from this wonderful site's Coin Facts, paste them into a Word document, change the ruler to mm instead of inches, and resize away! My type album may very quickly be "filled", albeit with pictures for the pricey ones. Report this Post to the Staff

larsdog Pillar of the Community United States 593 Posts	Posted 08/28/2013 12:24 am cheezyfryes, I agree with your assessment of the 40% Kennedys versus the 40% Ikes. 40% Kennedys were the norm from '65 to '70. On the other hand, 40% Ikes were special issues (NIFC) of the same coin issued as clad. The Prez. dollars shouldn't be a problem for you in a Type Set album. Just because the recent issues are NIFC, you can easily find early examples (e.g. Washington through Lincoln) that were released. The only catch is to be sure to get an example from a mint roll instead of a Mint Set since the Mint Sets from 2005-2010 had a special satin finish that was NOT released for circulation. I really like where you are going with this! Report this Post to the Staff
