Not a bad set. Many of those holes shouldn't be hard to fill. You many also want to add slots for 1909 VDB and 1909-S VDB.

Also bear in mind that if you intend on purchasing any of the keys slabbed, then you'd have to crack them out to put them in the page. Personally I'd just put a placeholder coin in the key's place and keep it in the slab for protection and possible resale value.

Just fill the holes with blank planchets. 'It might have been a 1909-S VDB.'  |

In light of the geographic distance between Australia and the USA, I think you're doing remarkably well. How long have you been at it? Where do you find US-cents? While Canada and Bahamas are close enough to make it into our circulation, I have never seen and Australian cent in change.
I recently spent money on some Fiji pennies (King Edward VIII) but that's as close to your shores as I have. Granted, I don't actively collect world coins, but if you want to do some trades after the New Year, keep me in mind.

Looking good! Your have a lot fewer holes than I expected, considering these are foreign coins to you. Thank you for sharing. |

 I prefer the look of your 2X2 pages over most, if not all, of the albums I've seen. |

Well done and wonderful display. Your time in making such an album is well justified. The results are excellent and should serve as an idea for others to consider. One note concerning TPG coins. Most folks, myself included, would recommend that you buy the key coins in TPG both for future resale value and your own peace of mind for the more expensive coins. Rather than cracking them out of the slabs, you might want to take a picture of the coin in the slab on both the obverse and reverse, add the appropriate date/mm to the obverse photo, make the size 100% and cut the copies to 1.9". You could then insert the photo of the coin in the slab in to your 2 X 2 pages and still keep the slab as is. |

I will just go ahead and say that I am that guy who will crack the slab and put the coin in the album.  However, I will also say that it is a matter of opinion. The advice given above is very sound, especially if resale is ever going to be a concern (in my case, it is not). |
