Easiest Coin Series To Collect?

That is how my Jefferson album was completed. I filled most from circulation, but the last handful I bought because I had the means by then.

When I say completed, I meant to date at the time. The album was not full until several years later, but I was able to add them as they were released.


Hopefully someday then.

I didn't even think of that! The whole weight thing. Another coin I like is the Standing Liberty quarter. They don't seem to be very budget friendly, though.

I saw a post on here of a comparison awhile back of the Eisenhower Dansco albums for business strike and proof. Honestly, they both looked nice.
The business strike album on Amazon currently is a very attractive price at around 32 dollars.
I have decided this is the route I am going to go. I like the fact however that Dansco's are pretty customizable.

I'm not big on proofs honestly. I will get the regular 7176 album, and go from there. If I decide that I want to get into collecting the proofs, Dansco does sell a separate blank Eisenhower dollar page which I can add later on. This kind of works out better personally, because I like keeping proofs separate usually. Also, there is 9 spots on the blank page and that works out sort of better because if I recall there are 9 proof Eisenhower dollars altogether.

I could even technically cheat and add some of the S Clad proofs into the "S" slots of the 7176 album. I don't believe the 7176 album makes any kind of distinction between the "40%" silver S mint BU coins and "S" mint mark, whereas the 8176 album does.

I think I'll add a few other random things in the 3 empty spots at the back of the album, just for fun.

I have to say it again—with a sincere smile and compassion—get the one with proofs! I do not want you to have any regrets later.


I suppose you can add a page for the proofs if you wanted, but there are 11 of them, so two will be in blank spots on the previous page.

But if you are sure you will forgo the proofs, then I will not pressure you. I want you to be happy!

Correct!

It does.

Nothing wrong with that. I started out collecting from change. Then in 1980 I started getting proof sets every year. I was content to keep them that way until I realized some of my Dansco albums had proof holes that needed filling.

I've started up a new Dansco album, but this time with proofs, just for something different.
I am working on various different sets, one of them being this album. I'm also working on my own Buffalo nickel set, and I am contemplating starting a Liberty nickel set. I have made slow progress as well on the Kennedy half dollar business strike set, but it is a nice series. For whatever coin sets that have some really expensive key date coins, which would amount to empty holes in a predetermined set album, I am using the Dansco 2x2 coin album. I was also going to get into the Ike dollars with the Dansco album I got for Christmas, but I really didn't care for how small it was. A tiny album filled with two pages hardly seems worth it IMO. I may or may not try a "proof," album from them for Ikes. Perhaps I will add them into my collection of coin 2x2's. I enjoy honestly the ability to basically make my own set or collection, without worrying about having to purchase expensive coins. It's been nice being able to collect whatever Buffalo nickels I want, without having to worry about collecting expensive varieties or the "three legged buffalo," coins.




Modern coins, you mean?

I probably will at some point.
Either that or I will collect all clad coins, business strike and proof. I can easily add that into my 2x2 stock album.

I'd sort of also like to possibly get into Sacagawea dollars and SBA dollars.

I'd go with the Franklin Halves- without full bell lines. You can do an VF-XF set for the 35 coins for round $500 with the price of silver. Just grab some raw Franklin halves from a local coin shop every time you go to fill your coin album. Plus, you have some silver coins when it's all said and done! 90%.
