justanothercoinaddict Valued Member United States 467 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 11:52 am Today I added the last coin to my Gardmaster Five Cent Silver album, thus completing a seven-year project. The slot for the 1921 remains unfilled, but even if I could afford one I wouldn't crack it out of its holder to plug the hole. Coins in this album range from VG to MS. I'll be photographing all of the coins and posting them here as time permits. There will be a couple of upgrades if I can find nice coins but, for all intents and purposes this album is done, hallelujah! This makes two complete projects out of the seven I have been working on - this album and my PCGS registry set of Victoria Fifty Cents.... Report this Post to the Staff

priorpence Valued Member Canada 148 Posts	Posted 04/16/2016 5:44 pm That's a tough set to complete, how deep did you go? Looking forward to pics and don't hesitate to put some of those beautiful halfs up as well. Report this Post to the Staff

Looking forward to pics and don't hesitate to put some of those beautiful halfs up as well. As far as deep I'm not sure what you mean, but if you are referring to varieties I went with those that were in the album, such as 1885 Large 5 and Small 5, 1858 Large Date and Small Date, 1875-H Large Date and Small Date, etc. If you want to see the Victorian halves here is a link: https://goccf.com/t/169578 Report this Post to the Staff

justanothercoinaddict Valued Member United States 467 Posts	Posted 04/18/2016 6:39 pm Here are photos for the first 6 coins, titled as they are listed in the album. 53 coins to go, so this is going to be an extended project. Report this Post to the Staff

AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 04/19/2016 9:03 pm Love the natural toning on all of these! That 1858LD is tough in that grade. Hard to say from the picks but I think I see a hint of a 1/1 on that 1871. Report this Post to the Staff

justanothercoinaddict Valued Member United States 467 Posts	Posted 04/21/2016 6:26 pm Here are the next six coins. The 1875-H Large date's obverse has streaky, woodgrain-like toning. It has not been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
