Just filled the final hole in my Franklin half album. Nothing special as far as high grade coins, just a full Dansco album. I picked up a '55 bugs bunny error along the way though. Just thought I'd share.

Congrats. I hope to achieve this by the end of this year. Pictures would be great.

I bought my daughter a "Bugs Bunny" variety a couple years ago (I think she was 6 at the time) just to try to get her interested in coins and figured it was something she could associate with something else she liked like with the Bugs Bunny cartoons

Drool....I am wanting to get my Kennedy half dollars done before I start that one, but looking at how many I would need and the prices, I may want to reconsider that. Nice job on getting the set done and what do you plan on doing now?

I'll probably concentrate on working on a Walker set next. Already got about 50%. I'm also roll hunting cents and nickels looking to do circulated sets, have an IHC album started, a nice proof set collection, and of course always working on the 7070. When I get bored of a type, I switch it up and do something else.

Great job!

My completed Franklin album is one of my favourites.

Nice going there.
However, now you that you are done with those the excitement of finding any more of them is gone. My suggestion is to send those to me and start over again. I'm to old to get excited if I finish a set so it really wouldn't bother me at all if you sent me yours. I'd even pay postage.
OK so now for real start another set making this #1. Then place the best ones in the #1 set as you fill the #2 set.

Congratulations! Did you get these all from coin rolls or did you buy them?

Good job daveg131,

It took me about 30 years to "complete" a set and I'll probably never complete another one.

My tastes run to wide
