Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 11:18 am Quote: The question is more like WHY ARE YOU DOING THE COLLECTION? Well maybe because I have in Mint OGP sets EVERY set from 1950 to present in uncirculated, proof, and silver proof sets. AND complete set of Dansco albums (With Proofs) for Lincoln Wheat cent, Lincoln Memorial cent, Lincoln Shield cent, Jefferson nickel, Barber dime, Mercury dime, Roosevelt dime, Washington quarter, Kennedy half, and Eisenhower dollars To keep collecting, it became time to move backwards in time. I picked out of a hat which to move onto next. Frankie won first. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 12:23 pm Dearborn, I don't know if Dansco makes a Canadian small cent album (they might), but the one I use is a really nice one made by Lighthouse. It's just small cents (which is all you need) and has all the varieties. There are only a couple pricier coins in the early years, but most are very obtainable. If I can assist, please let me know!

jason39305 Pillar of the Community United States 743 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 8:41 pm The Franklin looks much better after the acetone bath. Franklin's are a great set. They were my first dansco album I bought and the first set I completed as well. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 9:05 pm it does, It 'cleaned up' real nice. So far I have in the mail coming to me 1959-1963 P/D and 1960-1963 Proofs. Just went and found a Dansco album (new) to place them into. Just need to find a blank page (not sure if I need 2 of them yet - need to do a count for the proof coins. Collecting since 1972.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 9:14 pm So you're only going to assemble this set in common circulated grades? Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 95740 Posts	Posted 01/07/2022 9:58 pm Quote: So you're only going to assemble this set in common circulated grades? Initially, yes, for the business strikes anyway, plus the proofs (1950-1963) EDIT: I already have most of the Franklins still in their OGP mint sets from 1950-1963. I want a circulated set for my Dansco album library. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.
