Getting very close to finishing my first serious album. I have completed a few circulated coin sets but nothing serious. I am a handful of coins away from finishing the 1964 to present Kennedy half book. All coins in this book are uncirculated so something I am very proud of. Next up is the 1932 to 1998 Washington quarters which will be fun. What dansco sets are you guys currently working on. What are you stuck on or just cant find? Thankyou all! |

 congrats on your first. I think that was my first also. My other dozen or so are not quite as easy. Kennedy-done Mercury-16d Peace Dollars-6 more Jeffersons-Done Liberty Nickels-3 keys Franklins-done Ikes-done IHC-8 most keys Lincolns-12 most keys Roosevelt-done Silver Eagles-done Type Set 7070-half done Barber Dimes-1/4 done Then again if they were all full what would I have to do. Silver Washingtons are something I just never started. I think I have 12. 65 and up I'm done minus a few ATB. |

And this could be the start of something big you know. I presently have well over 100 Albums and no end in sight. AND most are Whitman Albums which around here is sort of not a good name to mention.   |

I have some Whitman albums that I have used for circulation coins only. I just do not like having to break my thumbs getting the coins into the holes.

My Buffalo nickel Dansco is full, excluding varieties and I've just got five holes in my Jefferson nickels ('38-S, '39-D, '43-D, '45-D, '50-D). My Kennedy halves album is also down to five holes (the '70-D, two common silvers and two recent NIFC). It would be a pretty small investment to finish off the TJs or JFKs but I'm trying to do those 100% from roll hunting. |

Whitman albums are similar to the Dansco albums, just blue. The folders only show one side of the coin. The albums are easy on the thumbs, the folders are not. |

Nice job, Charles. The nice thing about this feeling of accomplishment that you have, is that you will be getting it again, and again, as you finish more albums. I have 22 completed Dansco albums, with another 18 in the works. The stumper for me right now is the pesky 1873 lg3/sm3, Shield nickel. Can't seem to find one anywhere, but Dansco saw fit to put it in the book, so....  |

That must be a HEAVY album! Congrats!
I'm currently working on the 1932-1998 quarters, and it is a really fun one.
