I've had this set for over 25 years in an old folder. I just got a Dansco to upgrade the presentation. Even with a basic set such as this it's amazing the difference a nice album makes... plus I just love the look of circulated silver

It's nice indeed. However, the question now becomes...what will YOU do with the empty spots at the end?

Or maybe add another blank half dollar page and start on the proofs.

Great set Kevro22. I just have to complain about Danscos. They look like Soviet Cold War military surplus. "Here is your coin book Comrade".

My Franklin s were also in a folder for decades. Then I got a Dansco at a coin show for two bucks much better display.

@celtic,

I disagree, but that was truly hilarious.

I love albums and I love half dollars this is best of both worlds, but if I were you I would add a blank page and get some proofs and put those in there. It will make that album really pop

There are 5 holes left over. I used them to highlight the reverse as follows:
1. Sesquicentennial half
2 and 3. I use a 58 type 1 reverse and a 59 type 2 reverse
4 and 5. I use a 56 proof type 1 and a 56 proof type 2.

Just my ideas... I like the reverse of the franklin. I don't think it gets enough love

I highly recommend this. I have the 56-63 proofs in a blank page at the end of the set and it looks great!. The 55 & back coins will stay with my sets since they are better years.
