Wonderful collection!
I am interested in learning more about the CAPs pages. Are they kept in a binder, a slip case, box? Is each page for one size of air-tite or are their mixed options on a page? Anything you or others can share would be appreciated.

I would read all of the threads JBuck posted and then check out this web site https://www.capsalbums.com/And here is some additional info from my perspective There are only 3 round coin page types A / T / H They hold 30 / 20 / 16 capsules respectively When I set up a new type page for a set of coins such as Half Dollars, I will use an H page and then use capsules with foam inserts for the smaller coins As each collection is completed I will order custom backer cards with my own descriptions I figure I can get pennies, mickles and dimes in 1-2 A Pages and my Half Dollar/ Dollars in 1 H page |

If you wanted to, you could include the last eagle-back quarter, the 1998.

I just do that for older non-current coins as a basic target to selecting coins That way I always have the last year that type was minted for the older stuff On the modern coins you know when they stop due the the program transition date as an example - 2021 ATB ended, Delaware transitioned to 2022 and the WA set started |

I just got my first large dollar, a 1921-s Morgan https://www.ebay.com/itm/125251008162Next week I'll try to get a 1935 Peace dollarThe Ikes are going to be an issue for my OCC I want a 1976-1776 and can get a 40% silver proof pretty easy but I'm torn for the normal coin I would get a 1964 but they don't exist and the 1978 is clad So I might just get the 1971 in 40% |

The Ikes are going to be an issue for my OCC... I am going to put my bias on full display here, but the core Ike set is only 32 coins (34 if you include all three 1972 varieties) and relatively inexpensive (except for the additional 1972 coins). They all look good in a Dansco... maybe even better in CAPS.  Putting my peer pressure aside... Get the 1971-S in 40% and add a 1976-S in 40% to get the bicentennial reverse. Technically 40% is still clad, but using silver and copper instead of cupro-nickel.  |

That was what I decided to do, but I thought the 40% coins were an alloy and had silver rims I just place my 3rd order for more CAPS products This time I bought a Blank Binder with 4 T pages and the air-tites for my Golden Dollar Collections I also bought 2 H pages for my Large Dollar collection and 2 A pages to finish my Quarter Collections So far I have only spent $285 for all 3 orders and that may sound like a lot but I finally feel like this will be the LAST storage product that I will ever need as these seem to be a final solution for me Due to the size of the CAPS binders I figure my entire collection will fit into three 25mm binders with 6 pages in each Edited by Boba Debt

The net "alloy" is 40% silver and 60% copper. On their face they are effectively an 80% silver coin. The core may be visible on the edge, depending on toning and "bleeding" (from when the blanks are punched out), but it is is more difficult to see because the copper-silver alloy does not have the highly contrasting red-brown appearance of a cupro-nickel clad coin. The edge of the 40% silver coins lean more towards the silver end of the spectrum from 90% silver coins to Cu-Ni clad coins. |
