Started A Dansco Dollar Date Set

Shootnstar .. This thread started over 2 years ago .. and seems to pop back up every once in a while. I had to read back and see what you were referring to.

The coin shop I mentioned did go out of business. ECC is doing fine and thinking of opening a third location. There are several shops in driving distance to Pensacola, I think ECC is the best ones, and have the best prices. There is a coin shop in Pace, that I heard last week was trying to buy silver dimes and .75 each ... so not all in the area are good

I have been giving a lot of thought to joining the local coin club .... did you join?

This set is still one of my favorites, it really got me into Morgan dollars. I think I have bought at least 50 more Morgan's since I finished this album.

If your talking about the shop in Jay, I have not been there, but I have met the guy at the ECC Milton store.




I would suggest taking a list of the coins your looking for to the coin shop. On the list look up the grade you are hoping to get, and a price range. You can get prices from your RedBook or online sites like numismedia.com

It hard to tell someone how to develop a good relationship and a coin shop. For me it is a give and take type of situation. Try to be friendly but professional. I try to buy something when ever I go into a coin shop, they will learn that you are a serious customer.

I am talking about coin shops in general .. but if you have bought thousands of dollars from ECC .. they must know you.




Seems like it rained all day yesterday ... today I spent all day at the casino in Atmore .. so not sure what rain we got here.

Yep, I've dumped mucho dollaro in the shop but seems there's always different employees working. My last purchase there was 101 ASEs of which I had to wait nearly a month to get them all, bought them out. I paid for them all in advance to lock in the price.

As for the pricing thing, I really don't know what I want. I'm still too new to this to have decided my niche. I am currently building modern silver proof sets of dimes, quarters, halves and Ikes. Also still have holes in my NGC MS69 ASE set.

Hope you can make the Sept PNS meeting, I plan on joining then. And BTW, my wife is Creek Indian, thanks for supporting the casino and her yearly bonus check :-).

Sorry to dig up an old thread but what a great read! I recently purchased the Morgan dollar date set album from dansco but now I'm wishing I got the dollar date set.

Really having to resist buying another album haha

I may have to try this set as it is really the most inexpensive to have some kind of complete set of Morgan dollars. I will not be doing this soon as I have put another of my evil plans into action... Washington quarters. I then have a few sets I have started so I will have to do this set another time. I looked at where I was at with the set money-wise and I just about threw up! I need like, $60-70 just to get all the clad ones and silver proofs. Man, I did not know Washingtons could be this expensive. I'm not even talking about the silver ones!

I saw a Washington album at my coin shop today with all the coins from 65-98 filled in for $40 with the Dansco that would be tempting as then your just working on the silver and you already got the album.

My goal is to finish my 7070 and I just started the Franklin half set. This set, a walking liberty short set, a silver eagle set, a complete ike with varieties and Buffalo nickel set are on my to do list. One set at a time

A Washington album is a must have, in my opinion.

As for the original topic, that album must have been on my brain last night because it was in my dreams.
