I for one like the American Innovation coins. They may never be worth the cost ($34.50 for a roll of 25 from the mint).  They are a better design that the president dollars. It may be a little bit of hopeful thinking that made me start getting them, but I do like the way they look. I have the Proofs and reverse proofs to go with the rolls. one day some family member will look and be on here asking if they are fake because they never saw one in circulation. @Mr.Bill347, I really like the Folder, but I don't think I want to open the mint rolls and take one coin out of each.

You have to include my new publication. I have no doubt it will add value to your library collection.  I have just published and labeled it; "The 5 most valuable dug coins while metal detecting North Georgia; The story of the ED zinc Lincoln, worthless and useless since dropped".  

Ok... I am done now. My wife just read this and said."STOP.... you are making a fool of yourself...... your C meds are kicking in.....".  If I am banned from this forum I completely understand. I definitely need to go to bed now.

I am just kidding with you Woods, obviously.  You know I am a serious collector by ALL means.  I wish you the absolute best in your endeavors with your collection my friend!    

I am ordering three copies of this. One for me, one to pass on with my collection, and one for the next person tht thinks they know more then others here because u-tube said so. I was going to get @VanKurt a copy for his birthday too.

@Deana2874, Hi and welcome, your coin has been damaged and abused after it left the mint. One of the things I ask myself when I look at coin like this is; How can this happen at the mint? The coin you showed (with very nice pics I might add) has damage that would not happen with in the press.

Yes, software is cheap. Data entry is expensive. Whether in time or treasure. 

well the data entry time of adding just pics to my coin spread sheet is about five mins each. I already have the pics and the spread sheet, just have to move and add. I know I am slow, but I am going to try a couple hours a day of it.

Rummy13 provide me your email address and I’ll try to put together some instructions and examples.

Thank you for the help, I think, you just gave me about 6 months' worth of work.  But it will make my spread sheet better.

I just made my own spreadsheet entitled coin collection with a current update date “=today()”showing all pertinent information, then on a second sheet within that workbook actual photos inserted by year, mint whatever order, then create a row in the first sheet with a hyperlink to the line number location of the related photo. Think about the organization of the photos as if you add lines, the hyperlinks you created will have to change.

I included number of coins, sorted by denomination and type, year, mint, type grade or estimated grade, purchase price, date, current value, other attributes, certification numbers, and photo hyperlink. If you PM me, I’ll send you a sample section of both sheets. Best thing, it’s free.

I wish I knew how to do all that. I would love to hook my coin pics up with the spread sheet I made. I am not that computer Savey.

I would use an Excel spread sheet.

You guys' knowledge never stops amazing me. I am lucky to speak US English, and a Little Southern English. Well, I do ok with red neck Hillbilly too

I think it is. The Philippine mahogany acts as a desicant/humidity prevention. That is why cigars are shipped and stored this way. Besides I do use multiple desicant packs in each box.

I guess I will have to go around to the cigar shops and try to find them. I keep them in a big boot box with a lot of desicant packs now.  The one box holds from 1956 to 2008. Now I'm working one a new box. To bad there is no way to really display them all. same with the Mint sets. If you ever watched Mike on HSN, then you know how much space is needed. He is always trying to get people to buy the 1967 - 2008 sets for some outrages price.

This week I bought a 2009 18 coin proof set, a 1969 and a 1982. 4 maybe next week or two. My cigar boxes are filling up. Had to get more but found a cigar shop guy who can supply all I need.

Nice pick up @Mr.Bill347. I need some of those storage boxes for my sets.

Here Rum. I got you covered 😉

 

 

My $3 note had a U.S. President on it. And the moto was No More Bush

Wow @Mr.Bill347 that's great. That is how I started my collection, proof sets, mint sets, fill in the books...... it never ends. always something new to add. The mint keeps changing the OGP on the mint sets so they all can't fit together real nice and easy.

Thank you @JKK. I for one like learning and you and other here teach me so much. It seems to me I am spending more one books and research, then one the coins I get.

Very Nice collection

Mohawk, actually I have a proof loonie coming. The Toonie is “proof like” but not a proof. I’m thrilled to get 57,58,59,60,63 P proof sets, quite a good deal I got on the five also have a 68, 72,74,76,79, 83, 2012, and 2021 proof sets. 

Nice pick up on the US proof sets @Mr.Bill347, I have all the proof sets and mint sets from 1967 to 2021 but the early sets I really like. The dang mint sets were a lot harder to find in nice shape and cost me a lot more too. The 2012 is one of the key dates sets too. I love seeing what you and others get, thanks for the pics. Keep shopping and showing, it makes my day.

I'm the guy that keep the curve of average Joe down. My collection is nothing in comparison to many of the others on here. I am not into collecting to have a better set the anyone else. I collect what I like and can afford. I learn a lot from all the books but learn a lot more from talking to people here and in real life. I personally think the best part of collecting is getting a coin you like and then being able to show it off to other people. Weather it is a new ASE or a coin from BC I love to see them and learn about them. I don't commit much on here because I am learning so much, but people like @Hoghead515 make me feel more comfortable being here. Learning from the more knowable people make me explore other types of coins. There are no coin club around where I live so I learn from people on here. The best advice I ever got on coins came from my dad; Get what you like and a coin is only worth what you are will to give for it.

I been thinking about buying this big beast ! I have a large basement almost full length of the house it’s a ranch style home basement it pretty long and wide . If I buy this one I can sell off my other two safes . This beast is 100 gun safe plenty storage room in it but price tag is $8,000 which seems not too bad 

But will it fit in the door ways. and can the stairs to the basement hold the weight.
