Got this cheap "hole filler" 1896 today that I had ordered.

It is not a great looking coin by any means, but like I said, I will use it for a hole filler for now until I find a nicer one.
For 4 bucks, it'll do for now

Thanks, jbuck and seamonkey

So I did a boo boo. Lol. That's the only way I can describe it

I accidently ordered another 1906. Luckily, it was only 5 dollars. Hardly worth it to cancel it lol

Thank you, my friends.

So I now have some hole filler 1887 and 1893 coins, two 1906's, and a nice upgrade to my 1912-D coming.

I initially bought the 1893 and the second 1906 together. I could have asked to cancel, but then the whole order would have to be cancelled. Not worth it. I'll just add one of them to my duplicates page.

Now that my Lincoln Cent series is done (for the time being), I can allocate more funds in the future to this project as well as my Buffalo nickels and get into buying some of the nicer coins from earlier dates

Eventually, I am definitely planning to get some of the older coins in hopefully at least "Fine" grade, if I can.
At 20-30 bucks a pop or more, it'll get expensive quick for me personally!

I've made some CRAZY purchases recently! So today, I went down to my coin store.

I picked up these.
I bought another 1908 because I really didn't like the way the one I got looked recently.
Also got another 1883 no cents to use for the reverse.

But, that's not all...
Of course, once I had already cashed out and spent the money I meant to spend, I found THIS
The-Start-Of-My-Liberty-

Not ONLY did I find this, but they were only asking 40 DOLLARS, and it was basically brand new looking. Score. You can't find these right now for under 150 dollars on ebay.

Oh, and there's more lol
I then asked just out of curiosity if they had a Dansco Liberty nickel album, which they did. It was BRAND NEW in the wrapping still. And they said I could have it for the same price as the other one! I actually walked out and left because I already spent a ton of money. But after thinking, I was like, uh.... I'm not passing that up

I moved everything over to the new album today. So far, this is what I got!

Still waiting on some of the coins I have coming from ebay. Was supposed to get the upgraded 1912-D and 1887 today, but didn't

Duplicates and extras

I think that's all for now!
Any thoughts?
I think my budget is spent up for now lol

Oh, and here's what the Shield nickel album looks like

Thanks, EV! I was really excited to find both of these albums!

So it basically cost me around 85 bucks for the both of them.
If you look on ebay, expect to spend probably close to 200 or more for both of them.
