Josie67 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 2:58 pm I am about to embark on collecting the basic set of Capped Bust half dollars, and I would Ike to put them in a coin album. Unfortunately, when I search for the major companies that sell the early half dollar albums, they always include the earlier varieties as well. Do they make coin albums for just the capped bust series, or do I have to customize by just buying blank half dollar pages? Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 3:04 pm I ended up taking the first page out of the Dansco Bust Half Dollars album (the early Draped Bust Half Dollars) and put it back into the album behind the Capped Bust half dollars pages. That way, when you open the album, you don't see a bunch of Draped Bust Half Dollar empty holes. Good luck! Capped Bust half dollars are my favorite collection! Report this Post to the Staff
Josie67 New Member United States 49 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 3:24 pm Thanks for the suggestion. I did notice though that the Dansco album doesn't show the reverse of the coin. Is there an album that does show the reverse? Report this Post to the Staff
jeffrose Pillar of the Community United States 1432 Posts	Posted 10/22/2011 5:57 pm I have mine in an old Whitman that shows both sides and has no dates. Just says Half Dollars on the cover. It's about 40 yrs old. Don't know if they still make them. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 10/24/2011 09:59 am I don't think I've ever seen a Dansco album that didn't show both sides of the coin. A word of warning about collecting bust halves in an album. You will find that most likely a lot of the coins will be loose in the holes and will rattle around and rotate. This is because since the coins were struck without a close collar every coin is a slightly different size. The hole will be sized to fit the largest size that you are likely to encounter. Most of your coins will be smaller and loose, and a few you may have to enlarge the hole to get the coin into it. Report this Post to the Staff
RayT17 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 01/15/2015 08:37 am Yeah, I had to 4enlarge a couple of holes. It was a pain. used a knife to scrape it. any other ideas? Also, looking for an album to store the different overton varieties. probably just need to get blank pages? Report this Post to the Staff
