chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 12/21/2020 11:06 am I'd prefer Dansco but right now with Dansco being out of commission they cost more than I care to spend. I already have a mix of Dansco and Whitman Albums so it's really not that big of a deal. My question is which Whitman Album to get. On ebay I think I find 3 different ones... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Whitman-Bo...383025456479 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Whitman-Cl...162192627325 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Whitman-Cl...233262583042 How do these albums differ from each other and is the San Francisco mint considered Proof for the Eisenhowers? * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Edited by chafemasterj 12/21/2020 9:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: is the San Francisco mint considered Proof for the Eisenhowers San Francisco minted 40% silver uncirculated & proofs (1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1976) and Cu-Ni clad proofs (1973, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1978) Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 12/21/2020 12:15 pm I'm looking for an album that has all business strikes as well as the proofs so long as I'm not going to decimate my checking account.

atticguy Pillar of the Community United States 1373 Posts	Posted 12/21/2020 12:16 pm Well, I'm really old-school and mostly use the cardboard folders (the same as when I started coin collecting in the 60's), so I'm not much help, BUT....I'm not sure of what use the first album might be if it only goes to 1976. I'd buy one of the two that can display the entire set of 34. Edited by atticguy 12/21/2020 12:19 pm Report this Post to the Staff
88isgreat Valued Member United States 397 Posts	Posted 12/21/2020 12:17 pm Hi chafemasterj I just started an Ike album using the second one you list. The first link points to an album that only goes to 1976, so it would leave you a couple of years short. The third link points to what appears to be an older version of the second link. Might just be someone that has older stock to sell. It references the same album number - 9131. There are 3 empty hole (unmarked) to put some of the later special issue coins. I like the quality of the Whitman. I too would have preferred a Dansco but could not find one available. Good luck with your collection! Report this Post to the Staff

So far it hasn't been too expensive to find uncirculated and proof coins. So far I haven't seen any that are outrageously expensive.
