I tried to find what the holes ask for but can't find it.
I am guessing that two are the early type and two are modern?

I don't have any commemorative halves, but for the classics I would also go with Oregan Trail and Texas Centennial.

TNG- This is page I'm referring to. The holes are not labeled. I guess they leave them blank for personal preference.  |

So far, I think we're all pretty much headed in the same direction.

Had this... Then replaced Washington Carver to Lincoln.     Oh, then replaced Stone Mountain to MS64 to keep all halves as Mint State. Edited by Coconutjoe

I went with 1892 Columbian as the starter and then California coins - 1925 California Jubilee, 1935 San Diego, and 1936 Bay Bridge. My modern is the 2006 San Francisco Mint.

Coconutjoe- That is some great looking eye appeal right there!  ! The Mint State thing is way out of my reach. At this point, I'm just looking for circulated coins that can be identified and within my budget. From where I sit, I'm thinking a 1926 Oregon Trail and 1925 Stone Mountain are a must have. I do have the first hole filled with a decent 1893 Columbian. All- Great feedback and suggestions! Thank you! At the moment, I'm leaning away from the modern Commemorative. I do have several in prestige sets but really don't want to break them out. |

I'm from Long Island, so I want one of these to fill the last hole.   |

Columbian Expo, Monroe Doctrine, and a Washington pair (bought from the mint in 1982).  The Monroe is the newest as was shopped into an existing photo, hence the off-look.  |

Never did a 7070 album. I have seen some dazzling gem filled ones though. I was quite impressed. I do have a 95% "loose" US type coin collection. Of course some holes would be empty for me and probably always would be. |
