USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 6:30 pm Last Update: Sorry, not the best focus and lighting. This guy (album) is done! I'm putting this puppy to bed! Bottom-line: All MS61 or better with the excepting of two, 32-S AU58 and 32-D AU55. As you know, I was striving for all slabbed MS61's or better. I just couldn't pull the trigger on a slabbed Mint State 1932-D. I was seriously looking though. Thanks for your comments and feedback. Oops, another one (the last one) broke out. I hate it when that happens. Just a few odds and ends to wrap it up. Edited by USSID18 06/09/2018 6:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 6:58 pm Most impressive collection for sure. But I have to ask, why would you go to the expense of buying slabbed coins that meet your grading standards, and then crack them out and effectively discard their pedigrees? Just asking.

Well I'll tell ya Coinfrog, it was purely selfish on my part. I guess I just like the look and feel of a complete Dansco. Everything you're saying, crossed my mind long before I started the album and made my decision. I suppose this set, look, condition and appearance gave me the most satisfaction. Even though I took pictures of the coins in the slabs and put the pictures in the back of the album, I completely understand your point. Your point is will taken. I am aware that breaking these this out is viewed by many in the numismatic world as sacrilegious. I'm not a dealer, trader, investor or grader. I'm just a hobbyist. I'm not taking it with me. My goal was to create a legacy album to "hopefully" keep in the family, long after I'm gone. The kids know how much my collection means to me and how much I paid to put this one particular album together. That's the best I can do while enjoying the accomplishment at the same time.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 06/09/2018 11:08 pm Very deserving of congratulations for such an achievement. I am not keen on push-in albums for MS+ or proof coins. Report this Post to the Staff

I always liked the saying - "Quit your whining" - LOL! way to go Tom - a beautiful set for sure! Report this Post to the Staff
USSID18 Pillar of the Community 5464 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 10:42 am Thanks gents! Now the goal is to environmentally protect the set as best I can without the coins deteriorating in the album over time. Report this Post to the Staff
CollegeBarbers Pillar of the Community United States 2627 Posts	Posted 06/10/2018 2:43 pm That's one amazing set you've put together USSID18! As someone who is also working on putting together a MS Washington set, I'm really impressed! Quote: Now the goal is to environmentally protect the set as best I can without the coins deteriorating in the album over time. You might consider a Dansco 1-1/4 Inch Slipcase for the 8140. I've also read here on CCF to store Danscos in Ziploc bags. ANA and IBNS member YouTube channel 7070 type set Walking Liberty set Want list Trade list Report this Post to the Staff
