Today's Pick Up

Very nice coins Shatsi! I know what you mean concerning that pesky 16 D, but I'm reasonably happy with the one I got, even though PCGS only gave it an AG 03. I'm still swapping them out to the new album, and working on several other albums simultaneously. Will post pics when I get done, I know how you guys LOVE pics! Also still hunting for those overdates, so I guess I'll have to keep the old album TOO!

shatsi, how do you like that Intercept Album quality wise? I was seriously considering one but I couldn't find one to look at in-hand. Whitman Classics are TERRIBLE. I went with Dansco, nice quality and a good reputation for protection. But I was thinking Intercept would be best to keep my red Lincolns red.

Shatsi,

I recently bought an intercept shield album for my mercs, also one for Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, WLHs, and lincoln cents. I was very pleased with the merc album, the coins fit in realy easily, nice quality album, same with the roosevelt album. The Washington quarter and Lincoln Cent albums I've had to use the "wallow out with an old coin first" technique, but other than that I like em. Haven't had time to start filling holes in the WLH album yet, but the quality appears similar. For my mercs, I have an old Whittman album, which has slots for the 42/1, but not the 42 D 42/1 or micro s, I also have a Dansco which has no slots for either of the overdates or the micro s, and a Harco album that has a slot for the 42/1 only also. I've taken all the dimes from the Harco album and soaked them in acetone because the original owner didn't know how old the album is, just to be on the safe side. I realy like the Intercept shield albums all in all. They have their own slip cases, same height, and a pretty decent color.

Shatsi,

Maybe yours was made on a Monday? Both my dime albums have been pretty easy thus far, but my quarter and Lincoln Cent albums were a bear, that's why I went to the wallow out technique. Takes a lot longer, but it's a labor of LOVE!

TreasHunt, I was there only from 9-10am and I spent the entire time with this one dealer.

Nice Merc's Shatsi !!...........

Those are some very nice additions to any coin collection! Good find. I especially like the 1941 and 1923.

TreasHunt,
If I remember correctly its L & T coins, her name is Lorain and I can't remember her husbands name. They're at the left most aisle when you enter through the main door.

How often do you attend this show?

robocoin, thank you. I wish I can do better, I consider them to be basic pics. I'm just using standard settings. You can pick up some good tips if you read the "Coin Photography" section.
