You ever post photos of your Whitman Roman Album?
I for one would love to see it.

GR58, as usual, your photos and your posts are an inspiration. I knew you had a lot of Danscos but 74! Wow!

I never have and never will buy a coin (coins) at a whim. I always do my research before shopping and stick to my list. John1  |

Is this collecting, or hoarding?

I would call it collecting But on a much grander scale  If you have a very large collection that covers many different areas you tend to forget where you are with them. Rediscovering sections of a larger collection is half the Fun, At least it is for me   Edited by trout1105

I have 74 Dansco albums.
And I thought I was special with about a dozen that I have. Maybe less than a dozen, quite actually. |

WOW GR58! You has amassed quite a grand collection over the last 40 years! I am a long time collector off and on over the last 40 years but my collection is rather tiny but I do enjoy it. I went to the Orlando coin show yesterday and got side tracked. Came home with a few that wasn't on my "need for albums" list but I had fun  74 Danscos! I too feel like I have "a lot" with around a dozen or so. |

Thanks all I should say ... over the past 40 ... almost 50 years. Many of the coin no I buy are bought with funds from doing odd jobs or metal detecting change. Lately the from working part time at the coin shops and casino winnings. I am sure the collectors that have the funds to buy higher grade coins Would not think much of what I have accumulated ... but I do enjoy it. I like filling the empty holes Sometimes my wife shares her winnings, like this one from two weeks ago.  Edited by GR58

But I am curious if others ever have crazy days, where it is hard to say no. Yes, I have had a few. And still not regretting any of my purchases made those days.  Anyway, nice coins you bought! And 74 Dansco albums... I didn't even know they still had so many around these days. |

Anyway, nice coins you bought! And 74 Dansco albums... I didn't even know they still had so many around these days. There are still a few more I don't have, that I might try someday. Don't have the albums for Seated Liberty dime, quarter and halves. There are many older albums I watch for. I have a 7110, but want one in better shape ... no writing on pages. I might try some other foreign type albums. I do have a feeling I will down size in a few years. I would like to focus more on a core set of albums. Complete some that are only missing a few coins, than go into full upgrade mode. Some of the albums I started last year have a lot of empty holes. Those I have been slowly filling as the coins come into the local coin shops. Hard part for me, I am taking some of the better value coins out of the Dansco's and moving them to Bank boxes. For now I feel safer doing this. Even though there are empty holes. Here are some older pictures .. but I have more Dansco's since these were taken.   |
