StackingFool New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 03/23/2013 11:24 am Hi All - I just got a couple of Whitman coin books and need some help in using them... The first book is an ASE book which I have filled except for the "extra" spaces. could I put some of the "special" dollars from the mint in those as they come out? I have a burnished 2012 from the West Point mint for example...? The second one is very exciting to me as I just came across the US Type set book, and have quite a few coins for it already. 1. I assume one should put the best coins in the book? Is this true even it it means breaking up mint sets? 2. I have some silver proofs (Ike, Kennedy) should I put those in or uncirculated coins only? 3. I am buying some of the older coins like the Liberty nickels and Halves. any ideas there - or just go to the dealers on line? Thanks for any tips. I have been stacking silver for a while, and just realized that a lot of what I am stacking may be fun to collect! Peace and Thanks!

denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 03/23/2013 12:38 pm It is your book, do what you want with it. Some people like to fill it up all at once, with whatever type they can find/afford. Some people like to take their time, make it a lifetime endeavour, choosing only a predetermined standard of coin. Myself, I have ADD, if I added only 1 or 2 coins a year that were up to my standards, I would quickly lose interest. I fill mine up with what I can find/afford and then spend my years constantly upgrading my albums. Your collection, your way. Welcome to the community. Report this Post to the Staff

I don't ever mix them, but a friend of mine who recently started in the hobby mixes hers all the time as long as it is a year or type she needs to fill a hole. A collection is whatever you say it is.
