I went with the Dansco albums to consider it a set. I was in 2x2' s before, and I was trying to figure out what would constitute a "complete set". I figured that Dansco albums were used enough in the numismatic world, to give me a guideline of a complete set. All of my Albums include proof only issues. Having said that, I have to following sets completed or up to date...

Indian Head cents
Lincoln Cents
2-cent Pieces
3-cent Pieces (- the 1884 and 1885)
Liberty nickels
Buffalo nickels
Jefferson nickels
Liberty Head Dimes
Mercury dimes
Roosevelt dimes
20-cent Pieces
Standing Lib Quarter (- the 1916)
Washington quarters
Washington State Quarters
Walking Lib Half Dollars
Franklin half dollars
Kennedy half dollars
Peace dollars
Eisenhower dollars
SBA Dollars
Sac Dollars

I am one that enjoys the hunt. I travel for my job, so it's interesting to go to coin stores all over the country to see what they have. It gives me a better selection, than only going to my local shop .

What condition do you collect in? Circulated, UNC, proof, mix?

The 7070 is a minimum grade of VF to uncirculated and Proof. I am slowly upgrading the more circulated pieces. Franklins are vf to Proof - upgrading also. Buffalos and Lincolns minimum grade of Fine. I buy the best I can afford and upgrade as I find better examples. Thanks for asking.

Carl, I'd love to see photos of the Shield nickel sets, especially the key dates (1871, 1880, etc). Same goes for the Liberty nickels (1884, 1885, etc).

Prethen: I seldom take photos of coins. Never could figure out why I should. I have the coins so why take photos of them? I'm to old to start a collection of photos of coins since I have the coins. I know many do that all the time and there must be a reason but not for me unless I find a reason. Also, coins in Albums do not take great photos. The covers must be held back, the slides reflect light excessively, the coins are not in the same depth. Just not practical.
