One_Gassy_Possum New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/13/2016 02:19 am I am still pretty new to coin collecting but I think I have started just the way most people do. I started with Lincoln Cents until I couldn't afford to go any further, Then moved to Jefferson nickels. Here is my complete (no proofs) Dansco album of Jefferson nickels. From 1958 on it's mainly uncirculated. I try to replace the circulated coins when I can. This was a first display of coins taken with a camera. As I get more time I will actually scan them and post them. Thank you for looking and ANY advice given will be taken. I am a veteran stamp collector and it feels weird being such a rookie again.

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 05/13/2016 08:30 am Nice ! Great job so far... What I did years ago, was a Jefferson nickel "folder" (P&D set from 1938 to present). It is a circulated set but I replace with nicer ones when I find them. Then I got a Dansco with Proofs "album". In this one, I would buy Uncirculated & Proof U.S.Mint sets, break out the coins and then put the Nickels in my album, (other denominations in their prospective corresponding Dansco albums) This way you have perfect specimens in your Dansco. These Mint sets, to get the nickels from, are mostly inexpensive...over time, you can fill it. When complete, it's a beauty ! How did you get your Uncirculated specimens? I suggest my method because it's cheaper than buying individually in the long run, AND it gets you the OTHER coins for your other albums (or future albums if you don't have your Dansco's for those yet.)

Half Pillar of the Community United States 606 Posts	Posted 05/13/2016 10:34 am Looking good! Don't forget to store the binder in a ziplock bag. You can even add desiccant for a little extra protection. Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 05/13/2016 1:54 pm Nice lookin set.. It is always nice to get all the holes filled. Many sets get started this same way, fill the hole then upgrade as you find better grade coins. If your happy with it .. No need to upgrade. Buying the early Jeffersons at coin shows or online can be a more expensive way to go. Finding the 82's and 83's in BU can be a challenge. Report this Post to the Staff
mdrosophila Pillar of the Community United States 724 Posts	Posted 05/13/2016 2:49 pm Great set. Regarding the Lincoln set, it is more challenging. But this is exactly the appeal. There is chance that you could put together a set completely from circulation mathematically, close to win a power ball lottery in chance, by looking over millions upon millions Lincoln cents.
