Looking awesome! Keep it up! I only own a 1798 and an 1853 myself but I'd love to expand that someday!

Holes were too big for the cents so I added a small piece of foam from the Black Ringed Air Tite Holder leftovers to hold the coins in place. It's a shame that many holes in those stinkin Whitman albums are to big!! |

It's better than holes that are too small I figure.  I'll be cheering for you from the sidelines.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

The Large cents are 29MM to 28.5MM but even the 28MM extra page I put in there is too big for 28.5. I thought I'd buy smaller then use my spindle sander to fit the coins - not needed. Are you sure Whitman albums ain't shipped in from overseas?

The new Whitman albums are made in China. Says so inside the front cover, lower right corner. |

Snort! And Snort again! Compare the junk in a MickeyDs kiddie pack today to those exceptional quality Japanese junk burger buckets from 50 years ago!  Let me introduce you to Yuva Bin Haad, aka "The Bullet Bandit", aka "Ricky Stupidhead". Finally caught this little bugger stealling bullets and my fancy rocks! Now He comes from an era where toys had a purpose...you remember?  Edited by Crazyb0
