Or how about State 20 cent pieces of Australia, or perhaps the 12 sided 50 cent pieces of Australia? I wish Dansco made more albums. Some that were for popular foreign series. I do have a 2X2 box of Canadian coins, that does have some Canadian commemorative quarters, but I have not thought about doing a set ... yet. I have been trying out a different approach lately, Dansco stock books. With these I can put any group of coins I choose. So far I have four of them, mostly put together from coins that I have put into 2X2's or rolls, over the years . One of the Books have just Canadian coins. One for World silver coins. I am in the process of putting labels on all the coins .. before I take some pictures .. Report this Post to the Staff

nalaberong Pillar of the Community Canada 2805 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 5:29 pm Quote: State Quarters of Canada No, Provinces and Territories!! Bad news - you won't get a complete set. The Inuit-majority territory of Nunavut separated from the Northwest Territories in 1999, a few years after the Quasquicentennial (just go along with it) of 1992. To make up for this glaring omission, a special Toonie was issued in 1999 to commemorate Nunavut: But if you want all the circulating Canadian commemorative quarters? - 1, 1967, Canadian Centennial (exists in either 50% or 80% silver, but almost nobody wants one of each composition because it's very hard to tell them apart) - 1, 1973, Mountie Centennial - 12, 1992, Provinces and Territories - 12, 1999, Millennium - 12, 2000, Millennium - 1, 2002, Canada Day - 1, 2004, Remembrance Day (colourized red) - 1, 2004, Ile Sainte-Croix - 2, 2005, Alberta and Saskatchewan Centennials - 1, 2005, Year of the Veteran - 1, 2006, Canadian Medal of Bravery (note: this can be awarded to anyone from anywhere as long as they save a Canadian) - 1, 2006, Breast Cancer Awareness (colourized pink) - 1, 2008, 90 Years since Armistice (colourized red) - 12, 2007-2009, Vancouver Olympics/Paralympics 2010 - 6, 2009-2010, Olympic Moments (3 colourized, 3 uncolourized) - 1, 2010, 65 Years since V-Day (colourized red) - 6, 2011, Canadian Conservation (3 colourized, 3 uncolourized) - 8, 2012, War of 1812 Bicentennial (4 colourized, 4 uncolourized, we won) This makes 79 commemorative quarters total! Bad news: Canadian quarters will slip right through holes meant for American quarters, but I think generic millimeter-size album pages exist (my catalog says 23.88, American quarters are 24.3). American quarters are plentiful in Canadian circulation, so I'm putting together a folder of circulated State Quarters because I'm not jaded to them. However, I've heard that Canadian quarters in American circulation are more closely policed, so it might be harder to find them. And the colourized ones are hoarded even in Canada. But I'd be glad to help anyone working on this set if you just want average circulated ones - and forget about a slabbed set, because ICCS only does flips. Report this Post to the Staff
sirdizzy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 5:51 pm LOL you got a problem mine is that I never finish sets. I do have a complete set of P & D State Quarters that my mom put together for me in a folder, I've thought about getting a Dansco album for it but maybe actually grabbing a pd&s album so I have something to work on.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 7:45 pm Sirdizzy I have some sets that are not finished, these are mostly classic sets. I think I have figured out that I like how higher grade sets look. So that means on my budget that modern set are easier for me to complete. My Mercury dime set needs one ..the 1916D. Liberty head nickel needs two coins, 1885 and 1886. It is hard for me to spend hundreds of dollar to buy low grade coins ... But I feel someday I might. I go back and forth on how I feel about my type set. It keeps getting better But I see the low grade coins and think about doing some upgrades.. Then the voice in my head tells me up grades are not productive. I even have some better grade coins in 2X2's ...and not swapped them out. So .. I keep doing modern sets .. Today. I was looking at some other Dansco's ...some one had started and stopped collecting. Now I might be doing another Roosevelt dime and Jefferson nickel set. I may be crazy... I do think I pretty much buy ... What ever is a good deal. Because I do like Morgan dollars also, so it it not just modern coins. Report this Post to the Staff
sirdizzy Valued Member United States 461 Posts	Posted 09/04/2013 5:03 pm I am working on my third 7070 since like 2000, I have never actually filled it. First time I sold the entire set while I was in college in like 2003 and that might have been my most complete set. I remember I was even doing the gold page and handful of those too, I remember I had a gorgeous BU Type 1 Standing Liberty quarter my favorite coin ever and I think about 50 or so coins. I then started the set back up again in like 2006 and then sold the majority of it in 2008 when I got laid off this time I kept the album though and a few of the less inexpensive coins. I started back up again in 2012 trying to complete the set and am currently at 51 of the 76 coins (I know I own at least 1 coin I never owned from that original set a Trade dollar as this is the first time I have ever owned one). I wanna complete the set someday so I can go into upgrade mode never managed to go into upgrade mode ever. The only two sets I have ever completed is a Franklin half set (and was that a nice set it was all BU MS62 or higher, it was the first numismatic coin I ever bought as before that I was just collecting silver rounds) and the Statehood Quarters set. When I sold all my coins in 2003 I also sold all my albums too I had Roosevelt dimes - Proof, Washington Statehood Quarters, Washington quarters, Kennedy half dollars, Franklin half dollars, American Eagle Silver Dollars and the 7070. I currently have two Dansco's a 7070, and a Sacagawea. I also have a Whitman Classic album for Presidential dollars (and neither set is complete as I am missing 5 Presidential dollars and like a dozen Sacagawea's). I am liking the Whitmans though and thinking of mixing Dansco with Whitmans. Like I started a Harris folder for 20th century type coins for my little boy that all my downgrades from my 7070 go into but was thinking of getting him a Whitman Classic Album for 20th century type but wanna finish filling the folder first as the album has more coins like the T1 SLQ.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/04/2013 8:00 pm Sirdizzy That 7070 is a tough one. I started mine in he 80's, it took me many years to complete it. Last year I started the gold page, that took about a year to complete. I would say I am in the update mode, but I am trying to get away from doing updates. I know how it feels to sell a set you like. In the 90's .. There was a motorcycle I really wanted. Ended up selling my complete Walking Liberty set, to buy the motorcycle. Could be the biggest mistake I ever made. Report this Post to the Staff
jwguts Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 4:31 pm GR58... I love that picture!! The third album down from the top right corner looks like it has pictures in it. Am I correct, and what album might that be? Report this Post to the Staff
jwguts Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 4:40 pm As I reread this thread, (because I identify with it so much), I just know there's a joke in here somewhere. Something like: Q. How do you drive a coin collector crazy? A. Keep sending him empty Dansco albums. Report this Post to the Staff

That is the Dansco President coin album. Between each coin page there is a page with pictures on one side and information on the other. Report this Post to the Staff
jwguts Valued Member United States 256 Posts	Posted 09/09/2013 11:03 pm Thanks! Very different than anything I've ever seen from Dansco. I guess they didn't want to get left behind on doing extra information, the way they did with State Quarters. I didn't buy that album. I took a deal on an Intercept Shield album instead, mostly because I didn't want to collect multiple Mints. Report this Post to the Staff

I try and stay away from that too on the type set. Like you I like doing modern albums as well as a nice way to be able to get stuff when funds are low. If I started updated the type set it would never stop and thats all I would do. I've been neglecting everything else for a while now working on that Report this Post to the Staff

I use one to put my proof coins in. Report this Post to the Staff
