My Lincoln Cent Journey In A Dansco Album

1974 Variations

Looks like you have been busy.

If you want it, go for it. Modern proof cents are pretty cheap.

Actually, I recently came up with another plan, depending on how I'm feeling. When I complete this album, I will potentially "upgrade," my collection to a Dansco 8100. Then, if I actually decide to do that, I will use this existing 7100 album and build a new Memorial cents set from scratch, and I will also probably do the "short set" of Lincoln wheats, starting at 1935, the third page.



But, we will see how it goes. I like the idea, though. I did something similar with Jefferson nickels and honestly got kind of bored with it. However, there are SO many coins in the Lincoln series, so many varieties, and altogether the Lincoln cents are my favorite series to collect. It has been super fun. Looking through cent rolls I feel it will probably never get old for me. In my mind, it makes sense to upgrade the organization of my main set, so I'd rather spend the money on that, as opposed to something that is kind of secondary. I suppose like Dearborn suggested, I could also re-sell the 7100 album. But, being how much I like Lincoln cents, I really do imagine I could still get some use out of it.



That said, I'm kind of bummed because I haven't made any purchases lately for this set. Haven't had money. Obviously, bills come first!

Oh, also, I've been too busy buying books for other sets! Lol.

Perhaps! I am hoping when I get caught up again a bit that I can start really filling out some of the first two pages of Lincolns. I thought about doing all at once, one page at a time. Without the keys, of course. But uh, that might take some considerable money.

Thanks, Dearborn! The thing I like about the prospect of "upgrading" to a Dansco 8100 album... It's a HUGE set with tons of coins. It's 9 pages long. That's why I was initially drawn to collecting them in the first place. So many varieties and tons of coins in the series.

I really can't think of any other coins series' that are 9 pages long in length. Even my 7100 album is 8 pages long, and that's just with business strikes.

That said, I look forward to some more purchases in the future. I'm still hunting that pesky 1970-S small date, and I think it will be the first "expensive coin" for the set on my radar.

I have a few now that are 9 pages, but then, I added to them to make sure I had everything that was offered then for those years..
