Jokingjoker..... Which ones you missing eaglefoot?

Well.....I'm missing a Hawaii P and an Arizona P.......Then I've got em' all.......finally !......mostly BU.....but I have a good deal of "P's" in bad shape......cause we don't get them that often here in Kansas....and by the time we do of course.....they're usually less than desirable........but I've been as selectful as I could.....and it's not a bad set !
I have em' all in Proof too....but haven't cracked any for an album yet. I thought it would be a good "winter-time project"....but I haven't got around to doing it.
My P & D album is only P & D thankfully !......so I'll need to buy the one including Proofs if/when I do that.

I currently have five sets that I would like to complete: Lincoln Cents, Indian cents, Buffalo nickels, Mercury dimes, and the 7070. The Lincoln Cents and Mercury dimes are the closest to completion with three remaining in each.

Jbuck ... Coin Collector since 1978

If your putting yours in Albums, are there slots for the 42/41 and 42D/41 and 45Micro S in the Mercury Set? Also, does your Lincoln set include the 22 plain, 55 double die, 72 double Die, 95 double die?
Are you planning on putting all 20 different 2009 Lincoln Cents in your set? 20 different ones for 2009 is a little nutty but that's how many there are and 4 are proofs too.

No, my Mercury album is a custom Dansco (two undated Dime pages) and I do not collect over-dates or other varieties.

Yes, no, no, and no. The 1922-D Plain bugs me most and it one of the three that I need.

Not for this album. I deliberately decided that this will be a Wheat and Memorial collection only.

My albums, my rules!

If anyone wants a nice Franklin set check the Buy/sell. Shameless advertising.

5 of my Whitman Classic Albums for Lincoln Cents now have 10 pages in them due to all those proofs, error coins, large and small dates. Then there is those nutty 1982's and now with 20 different 2009's, the cover seams are starting to burst.
I have 5 other Lincoln Albums but have sort of done what jbuck does. I make my own. Two start with Flying Eagle cents, then Indian cents, then all the Lincoln Cents to date. No error coins, no large and small dates, no proofs. Another two are all Lincoln Cents but again, no error ones but there are proofs. Last one is just all Lincoln Cents with no proofs, no errors.
Nice thing about Whitman Albums is you can purchase those rub on dates/letters/number sheets form them and post whatever you want under the coins and/on the cover pages. With those they look almost professional.
Glad Whitman no makes their Albums with removable pages and also sells blanks. I know Dansco does too but always wondered about some of the other manufacturers.

I do like that about the Whitman. None of my custom Dansco albums are labeled, which makes filling the tricky (I just go by a list I made). The pages do look interesting when full. All coins, no text; like looking at reverse side.

Not sure how they would look on a brownish colored page but you might want to try them. Unfortunately Whitman sells them for about $5 something a sheet. At coin stores I've seen those press on letters/numbers in that Gold look for a lot less. So far haven't seen them at coin shows for a long time. I just ordered a few pages of them from Whitman and they also sent me a free book about the State Quarters and no postage. However, the price for one of those sheets of press ons is really high.

I think that the contrast would be week, since the pages are a golden brown.

Now that is interesting. I might have to consider it, although I have gotten used to their not being dates on this pages. Decisions, decisions!

Capped Bust Halfs, and all the Seated Liberty's series. (Halfs first, then dimes, then quarters).

All Draped things are a bit out of my league...
For now...

And upgrades to everything I already have when I see them.
