I've plugged a few holes with what I had lying around... Good work. It is filling up nicely.  |

Just an update. I've managed to fill a few more holes.  I tucked 3 steel cents into the unmarked holes for now. I'll probably end up using 1940 PDS before I frame it. |

Awesome! Are you planning to put a '09 S VDB in there?

Are you planning to put a '09 S VDB in there? I'm hoping to fill all the key-date holes. (except the 22 'no-d'/ "plain") In my opinion it's simply an over hyped variety. I'll probably leave that hole empty strictly in protest. The prices for low-grade key-date Lincolns have dropped in the past few years. I'm hoping to be able to find a decent '09 S VDB eventually. I'm planning on framing this thing, and letting it hang on a wall in my house. I don't want to lock in in a safe after I'm done with it. Adding the keys to it will make it as expensive as a large screen HD television, and I can't afford a safe that's big enough to hide a 40" flatscreen. |

Very cool addition! There's an interesting article in the March, 2016, issue of "the Numismatist" (pages 17 - 18, "Feeling Board?") devoted to these early coin boards. Author David W. Lange, concludes that "dried adhesive is neutralized by age." He also has a 2007 book, "Coin Collecting Boards of the 1930s & 1940s." That's a great find. Thanks for sharing it. Jack

Ref: the Cardboard Holder project. I was wondering if this class of coin is what you are putting in your antique coin holder.   Edited by pocketchange2

 6 holes left to fill. 7 if I count the '22 (no report) one. The '13D and the '33D will be easy to fill. The other 4 holes are gonna cause me to open my wallet a bit further. You'll notice I removed the '43 steel cents and replaced them with the proper 1940 P, D, and S-mint coins. |

Those are almost the same coins missing in my Dansco album. Good luck. Can't wait to see it finished.

So how do you display that or don't you? Right now, it's sitting on top of my armoire. (armoire is a fancy word for the piece of furniture that I keep my underwear in) It'll eventually get framed, and hang on a wall inside the house. As I mentioned earlier, the total expense for this thing is going to cost less than what most spend for a HD television. |
