I have been working on this set for the better part of the year, and I have finally completed it. I have to say, it feels really nice to have this set completed and overall I think I did it for a really good price. I have about $250 in it total. Looking at sold sets on ebay, I have seen ones that are either missing the 13-s T2 and/or have several acid dated coins sell for quite a bit more, so I am pretty happy with where I sit with it.

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment. I took these from my phone so it's hard to see some of the dates on some of them, but they are all there. (FWIW, I just bought an upgrade for the 1919-D which has not arrived yet)

I will post some closer up pictures of some of the coins tomorrow.

Nice! Is this building off the 64 for $64 as far as upgrading?

A labor of love. Congratulations!

Pity we can't see the other side of the coins with this type of album. Perhaps they should be in a see both sides PVC free environment that provides physical protection to both sides of the coins, album type of your decision. The are worth it.

labor of love is right! to find each coin in the same grade level relatively problem free across the board takes time and patience. Congrats.

@duncan: Yep, this is the upgraded version of my 64 for 64 set. Probably just over half the coins in this set were originally in the 64 for 64 set.

@sel: I definitely plan on getting a dansco for the set at some point.

Thanks for sharing this. A lot of mine are acid dates from circulation many, many moons ago. I hope to upgrade some day. Also am missing a few.
