malissadawn Pillar of the Community Canada 1931 Posts	Posted 07/06/2008 06:09 am Intersting......all of it. I have a lot of books to fill with sets of things but none of mine have spaces for proof coins. Just a space for each year and mint mark. Weird. Dont know if its good or bad that way, but thinking the search for proofs would drive me insane eventually. lol Report this Post to the Staff

My wife has NOOOOO sense of humour when it comes to spending money buying money. regards Roger Report this Post to the Staff
neversuited1 Pillar of the Community United States 1121 Posts	Posted 07/06/2008 09:28 am malisadawn, Dansco Supreme Albums are available with or with out proof spaces. My benchmark was set fairly high by my Grandfather and his 50+ years of collecting. The collections looks absolutely beautiful when complete. I is not a race for me. I enjoy each coin I find or purchase. It truly is the journey, not the necessarily the destination, that I enjoy. Icon, I def understand your situation. I buy and sell coins online and the cost of postage is getting silly high here in the states. I guess that is one of the the trade offs you have living in a beautiful country like Australia. p.s. I won't tell your wife what you spend, your secret is safe with us...lol. Report this Post to the Staff
iconcoins Valued Member Australia 52 Posts	Posted 07/09/2008 02:50 am Hi, many thanks for your comments. I just sent my wife to the Post Office to pick up another ebay parcel (I told her it could be cosmetics) but it is not. Yes, I agree Dansco Supreme are great and I buy them blank and use a clear labeller for the years/mint marks/mintages and it looks great and informative (as it should). I still get a buzz with every delivery and use my desktop magnifier/lamp to it's fullest to scrutinise every coin and upgrade my sets. Once again, thanks all. regards Roger Report this Post to the Staff

But if you can buy a Lincoln Cent 1909 S VDB for $850.00......and it's only a cent face value yeah....but .....I explain to her how nonsensical her "comment" is each and every time to no avail really.......she just furrows her brow and continues shopping....looking for bargains .....
