How Many Albums Are You Working On?

It's very interesting to hear what everyone else is working on. And it makes me feel better knowing that everyone else works on multiple albums at a time!

Lincoln Cents
Jefferson nickels
Buffalo nickles
Franklin halves
Liberty Halves
Pres Dollar Type Set

I am working on the following Danscos:

7070, 5 slots left
Mercury dimes, 4 slots left
Lincolns, 5 slots left
Jefferson, 2010 left
Buffaloes, just getting started.

Pinenut, I know exactly how you feel. I had two of my sets in Whitman albums and just transferred them to Danscos so they would "match".

A long, long time ago I too thought that way. Used to have nothing but Whitman since they are more common in the MidWest. Then many years ago, at coin shows, I started asking dealers where they got all their coins. Many said from people selling Albums. I asked what they did with the Albums after they removed all the coins. Almost all said they throw them out. So I started asking if they wouldn't mind bringing some to the next coin show. Some did and I started accumulating Albums of many different sizes, types, colors, etc.
Then too if you look around at anybody's book case, how many books look the same? Very, very few. And just how many people place valuable coin Albums out on display in a bookcase for the world to see? That is not to smart nowadays either.
So I said to myself, SELF, who cares what color, size, brand a coin Album is as long as it is free, can't complain. I do have well over 100 Whitman Albums though but many, many others of all kinds too.
I've even made some Albums with a Dansco Cover and other makes for the pages. Since the Albums are all mine, no one can complain.
By the way Whitman used to make, not sure if they still do, black press on letters/numbers. The Gold ones just wouldn't look right on a Dansco Tanish Album.

I am currently working on three. The Lincoln Cent album and the 7070 are the first two. The third is a custom album that holds Indian Head cents, Buffalo nickels, and Mercury dimes.

Primary focus: (Dansco's)

Standing Liberty quarters

Mercury dimes

Walking Liberty halves

Primarily via roll searching:

Lincoln Cents

Jefferson nickels


Others sporadically - when a deal presents itself:

Buffalo nickels, Roosevelt dimes, Washington quarters, Franklin halves.


Obviously, I'll have to buy some of the Lincoln cents, and have done so. As for the Jeff's - so far I'm 6 away from a set entirely from roll searching. I only do 2-3 boxes a month.
