Dilemma In Designing The Next Soviet Commemorative Album

Since you mention that it is Soviet I feel that all Soviet coins should be included. I just get the vibes that the album would be incomplete without them, irrespective of them not being released for circulation.

The Barcelona coins would be 'widows' or 'orphans' otherwise. They are commemorative coins, after all.

A problem like this has come up before, where other album collectors are sometimes obliged to fill holes in an uncirculated album with proof coins.

Considering the thought and effort you are putting into this, some considered planning is certainly justified.

Agree with the thought of including 1992 coins lest they become 'orphans'.

As for organization, I'd recommend going by date

When you put the table at the front of the book you can include which theme it belongs to so those interested can skip right to them. I'm not too familiar with these but it's possible some coins might fit into more than one theme (famous person, space exploration?). . .

This is going to be a pain - some photos that I have taken are more than 7 years old and I didn't take good photos back then. Some of the coins are actually at another country so this will be very very interesting. Will do with what I got. Some looks good.

You can use mine (if you find them acceptable). I have just two missing. My rubles should be on omnicoin.
