DesGaulles02 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 01:20 am Just wanted to share my Gardmaster Canada 50c albums, and see if others might do likewise. I guess this is sort of odd, but I started the 1870-1952 album with Edward VII. I figured that the Victoria issues were mostly out of my price range, at least from what I saw in the Charlton Guide, so I'd come back to them at some later date. My thought was that I'd try to have at least VG for the Edwardian halves, at least F for George V, AU for George VI, and MS for Elizabeth II. Sorry about the glare in some of the pics; I looked all over the house for places to take them, tried different angles, etc. Something always seemed to be an issue. Report this Post to the Staff

neweden Valued Member Canada 272 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 12:50 pm Nice, very nice indeed, thank you so much for sharing, I notice your 1904 is a newfie though which doesn't fit, but still a nice coin. Thanks again.. Report this Post to the Staff
DesGaulles02 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 2:34 pm Thanks. Yes, the 1904H is a Newfie. I couldn't afford the Canadian issue, so the Newfie is in that slot for now. Report this Post to the Staff

TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 7:10 pm Wow, I'm impressed! Very nice collection! Are you only doing the silvers? That album looks interesting. Is it a slide? PVC/acid free? Report this Post to the Staff
DesGaulles02 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 8:03 pm Thanks! I've been concentrating on the silvers so far, but I do plan to get the nickel issues up to 2009, when the 1953- album ends. These albums are Gardmasters. They are slides. These newer editions are PVC/acid free. http://www.brent-krueger.com/gardmaster.html Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 10/02/2011 8:42 pm Thanks for the link. I am working on the opposite for now with the nickel issues, plus I have the 1999P test coin. Report this Post to the Staff
DesGaulles02 New Member United States 35 Posts	Posted 10/03/2011 01:35 am I just looked at some nickel 50cs on ebay, and decided to pick up a couple of them. :) Anyone else care to show their 50 albums? It'd be cool to see others. Report this Post to the Staff
