I started this album a couple months ago, and I am curious if any member have completed it, or are working on it. I picked up (from Wizard) the album because I had a few of each coin just sitting in 2X2 boxes, and thought they would look better in a album. My coins are from high grade examples, but is do like filling albums. So this one falls into my "just for fun" section. I do like the album because the higher priced proof only coins are not included. This limits the number of very high priced coins ... at least what I consider high priced.     |

Looks good!  I think you have a problem, regarding your addiction to Dansco albums. However, I cannot help you stop, I will only encourage you to do more and more of them!  |

I know what you are saying Jbuck ... Hard for me to say no to a Dansco.
Do you think there is a 12 step program?

I need to get one of those 2 cent Dansco's, got a complete set except the 1872. Easier to show people your Dansco than a binder sheet full of 2x2's, and much more attractive.

Prethen That sounds like a impressive album. And I am guessing your coins are much better grade than mine. Which is a very good thing. I decided to start this set, one, because I had some of the coins and no place to put them. Two, because over the years I see a lot of these coins sitting in coins shops. Of course most of the ones I see are in the lower grades. A few months ago I saw a 1872 Two Cent in very low grade, but low price, I am sure I will be kicking myself for not buying it then. |

Looking good GR. Don't worry so much about your coins' conditions. If you are happy then be proud because every picture you post I for one am almost always in awe!

I like that album. I should get one and fill it. I have all but one of them. Still need the 1884 3 cent. The 2 cents aren't that hard, the 1872 being the only tough one. But they do show up. The 3 cent has several very tough coins unless you fill them with proof coins. The killer is the 1885 Almost 4,000 proofs, relatively common as far as proof 3 cent nickels go, but only 1,000 business strikes, most of which no longer exist. The 1884 isn't much easier.

Thanks all for posting.
Conder101, thanks for posting that information. I should have looked
into these more years ago, so I would be more aware of which ones
to watch for. After reading your post I am pretty sure which holes I will
be filling last.
Thanks CSOTUS. I don't feel my collection is that special. Most of my
coins are acquired from two local coin shop. Which means I might be
able to pick what comes in .. If I can afford them. I don't think I have
many really high end coins, but a good volume of common and maybe
interesting coins.
