Best Way To Store Half Dollars 1930-1980

Check your lcs (local coin store) for the pages that hold TPG slabs, that is where I got mine. Mine is one of the Eagle brand ones, and it works great!

Dansco doesn't make an album for "S" business strike quarters. I bought a Dansco 7140 album and a label maker. I just got the albums today so I don't have pictures of mine yet. Use alcohol to remove the print on the sheets and make your own labels. You could use a Dansco 7166, EBay for around $40 and comes with 6 pages. There's a post on Modern Coins section about how to do this for the Innovation dollars.

Anthony, I have thought about doing that too, I did see you can buy blank pages but most seem out of stock right now. I will look into maybe doing that with all the dimes, I'm just done with everything in 2x2 row boxes, can't look at anything properly and everything gets out of order etc.

jbuck, how fun! How have the Ikes faired in the dansco album? Are they still fairly white or are they toning?

Jbuck, I totally understand that. This one is strangely sentimental even though I didn't complete it myself and I did not inherit it. I bought it some 5/6 years ago off ebay for my son to play with coins with my dad (who was the big coin collector), a way for them to bond. So I bought it complete, in the album for about $160 range I think. I always write notes to the seller about where their items are going and I ended up striking up a really nice conversation with an older lady who informed me that the coins were her late husbands and they didn't have any children so she was selling things on ebay. She was touched about the story of my buying the set for my 8 yr old that she added sweet notes to him about how to keep them nice, and to not clean them. She also added a couple Buffalo nickels and some uncirculated quarter mint sets for him too. There is a real human factor about coin collecting and I will never forget that. So yeah, the ike collection is special to us and I feel quite attached to it. I think about that lady often and wished I had went back and looked at anything else she might have sold, but I didnt. I did keep all her notes and extras with the Ikes too.

That is a beautiful backstory!

I just bought some lighthouse albums too (the gold ones) and some airtite pages and 2x2 pages. I think I'm going to use them to house the bulk of the collection. I bought a few to try out first before buying a bunch just in case I didn't like them. Happy organizing!
