What kind of album(s) do you store your classic commemoratives in? The main three albums made today I can find are: Dansco type album (7094), which organizes them by year The Dansco two volume set (7095) with a hole for all the different varieties, which organizes them alphabetically Whitman sells a similar two volume set for the half dollars but is organized by year and each one is sold separately! Whitman in the past has sold a lot of different albums for commemorative types, and there are also a lot of other older albums. The Wayte Raymond National Coin Albums of the 1940s, later copied by Meghrig, are collectors items by themselves! I've been collecting classic commemorative halves for almost a year now and I'm really enjoying it, and I have enough now that I feel justified in getting an album for them. I am considering getting the newer Whitman albums since I personally like the commemorative halves sorted by year rather than alphabetically, but sadly there is no spot for the Lafayette dollar or the Isabella Quarter. I'm interested to hear what you all prefer. |

My only classic commemorative is in the Dansco 7070. If I were to start a set, I would probably choose the less ambitious Dansco 7094.

I'm not a dedicated commemorative half collector but I do pick them up every now and then. For that I have a Dansco Blank Half Dollar album. Album # 7157

Before I switched over to graded examples, I was using a Dansco "Commemorative Type" album to store my collection. I think it's a good option. Quote:

 to the CCF My experience is similar to commems. I started storing my circulated classic silver commemorative set in a Dansco 'Commemorative Type' album, but eventually had them all certified by PCGS. Best of wishes with your search. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.artEdited by nickelsearcher

Me being a 'completest'' I would go for the 7095 Dansco album, However, me being broke might have to 'settle' for the 7094  |
