Those 40s are a waste of safe space.

They are not a waste of safe space if they are important to argentum...
Keep comments like that to yourself.

That's a great-looking page.
I really like your idea of making a small collection by year for the special people in your life. I might just do that myself if you don't mind me copying your idea. It makes for a nice keepsake.

That is such a cool idea. I'm going to start birth year collections for people in my life as well! Thanks for the idea.

By all means, Buddy and others, copy the Idea to whatever extent you like. The complete idea was not only date, but mint closest to their place of birth. Grandpa was born in northern CA near the bay area, ergo S, and Grandma in Maryland, ergo no mark Phila. Aunt and Uncle were also born in northern CA, ergo D since SF Mint was no longer making silver coins. CCF member Indian1 helped with the 1934 set. The 1887 set is to represent my birth year, as well as the 1987 ASE that I also put in there. Also, the 1967 among the 40%ers represents my mother. |

hehe....of interest...I bet there is 20 to 25 percent of "stuff" in my safe that is not worth what the 40% halves are.

My page has good company in that safe, my grandfather has the 1978 Kugerand that he was given by his mother in there.

Awesome Collection! Keep adding to it. Before you know it, you will have pages upon pages! Congrats on your page. I really like the idea of doing memorial sets like that.

@raymo: My grandpa was born in 1939 and still living as my mentor, as aggravating as he can be sometimes. @stud: only two of these are memorial. The next set I think I'll work on is halves + Washington quarters, all of them |
