This has been suggested by many on this forum, but I have to agree that getting the business strike (7-series) Dansco and then adding pages for proofs is the best, most attractive way to go.


That just might be the answer for presidents: Dansco 7186 (Date Set) One of each president in MS, then some proof pages behind that. Maybe they'll come out with some blank president pages like they do for the Sacs.

First pass through a couple boxes of 2X2 and found 16 more nickels for some of the empty holes.

I have to say that I keep looking at the 2005 proof nickels, I like the look and design so much, these two have moved into my favorite coin category. (Ocean view and Bison)

I hope I can finish this Dansco before the end of 2011 ... last coins in page 6 ...

Upstate,

Thanks but I think I will keep it, gives me a place to put the nickels I get from the Mint and Proofs sets I break.

This dealer is a good friend, he does most of his business in scrap gold, gold and silver coins.
I have bought a couple sets like this from him, if they sit there to long he will give me good price.

Progress
5 to 6 weeks and have found 81 coins. So up to 154 filled, 53 more to go. I think I have most of the easy ones, it is getting harder finding the early ones. I am hoping to get them all in AU/BU.

I guess I will have to start checking the online sites.

I started a Jefferson Dansco a couple of weeks ago. I usually pick up $10-$20 in nickels every time I cash a paycheck. Between those and my mint/proof sets that I had broken I figured it was time to start working on one. Mine is nowhere near that pretty, though. I would have rather paid someone $40 for the book + several of the coins.

Thanks guys

This set is much harder to do, than I thought it would be. I pretty much have all the ones I can get from breaking mint and proof sets, so now I will have to find the individual coins.

I have been to most of my local coin shops and bought the ones they had .. that I liked.

The page with the westward journey nickels I think are my favorites. I also like the two silver War Nickels that I have so far, to me they are nice coins in uncirculated condition. oh .. the 40 S is a nice one too. I hope to find more like that one.

I wasn't really much of a Jefferson fan until I saw your album. That looks really nice! Thanks for turning my head!

DONE!! for now.

I started this set on March 22nd, and got done today Nov 1st.
Of course I bought the Dansco with 73 coins in it, and sometime
in the future I think I will upgrade a couple.

But for now I am very happy with it. I think they are all BU or proof. Some of the coins came right out of the mint package were not really the highest grade. I think I will be putting it away for a while and come back to upgrade them.

Some are bright Gem BU and some have a nice tone. My poor ability to take good pictures makes it hard to really show how nice some of these coins are.

Congrats!

Are your 2009 P & D business strikes or Satin finish?

Thanks for the replies. It really was a bigger effort than I thought it would be.

Tornandfrayed75 yes they are satin. I am one of those collectors that use mint and proof sets
to fill my sets each year. In the past, for the sets I was not working on, I just put them in
2X2's until I did start them. So all the P and D's from 2005 on are satin finish.
