Thanks, everyone.

This coin series, despite being one of my favorites, was a bit exhausting on my finances.

Not yet, no. I've been buying a ridiculous amount lately of coin supplies. Pay day will be here soon enough, however.

Honestly, in all actuality, I could probably even add a "third" page to the album and do it that way, as I have several blank nickel pages. We'll see. I like the idea of a different album, though.

Okay, "now" it's complete
Having that hole where the 1885 should go was bugging me

I put my extra 1883 "no cents" in there, since this is a good coin to show the reverse of IMO. Good enough for now.
I also actually have the no cents reverse at the bottom in the empty spot, with another coin that has the "cents" on it.

Another coin that has been sort of intriguing me lately is those "racketeering" V nickels. I wouldn't mind maybe buying one, but I have no idea how to tell if one is genuine or not. There are some slabbed ones out there.

I'm not sure how they could tell if it was genuine from 1883, but I just got one for fun that was plated Figured it can go in one of the open spots.

That's awesome, seamonkey! Yeah, I guess there is some debate about whether most of these "racketeer nickels" are actually legit or not.

I got the Whitman album today. Not really too sure how I feel about it honestly. I mean, it's cool and all.

But yeah, I probably could have done something similar with blank Dansco pages.

My goal, if I start to hunt for a bit more, is to find some pretty worn out ones. I think that would be cool. They would also be quite cheap.
