Thanks my friend. Your pick ups have been crazy nice. It has been fun to branch out and get some other coins. Back to reading about how close this star is to this letter and what not. This little crack here and chip there. May bust my brain.

Thanks brother. I need to take a break. Keep on buying stuff though. You would think I’m trying to keep up @Woods020 but there’s no way!

Thanks, and thanks for the tip. I was hoping that would be a bit of a tell tale marker. These bust halves are no joke and seem to be very involved. I was reading through an old 6 page thread on just the 1927 Overton #s ATS and I got a bit lost after a while and most of the pics are gone. And it said it was part 2! Was on the Bust Half Nut Club site as well. Any other research options you may have would be appreciated. I know there is an Overton book, but I haven’t found one or access to that information yet. I’m glad I only have one of these. (for now)

Thanks. Listing photos. Will be off to Buffalo Head soon.

Thanks. I have strayed away from my nickel collection for a while now, but I am enjoying picking up different things and learning about them. This one looks to be a challenge, but I enjoy doing the research. So many things I like. Good thing I work a lot.

Just picked this one up today. My first Bust half. Now the fun begins in trying to figure out which die marriage this one is. I picked a heck of a one to start with. 49 or so different die pairs for this year from what I have read. I have a lot of research to do. Should be fun.

I was not as lucky. I just remember boats and bicycles and getting banned several times. I tried for an hour with no luck at all. By the time I got in, everything was gone. I wasn’t too tore up over it. I still got my silver V75 eventually. Congrats on getting the gold one though.

You are a trip brother. LGS (Lems Guessing Service). Free onion and such. I went back and forth with 64/65. (note the edit 2x) I like the coin. One of the cleanest faces I have seen on a Morgan.

Pics are excellent CB. Nice coin as well. LGS64

I don’t understand why they don’t do enrollment on these. Seems like they keep the high demand coins out of the enrollment option for whatever reason. The mint would still sell their coins without having these crash and burn sales days. Just doesn’t make sense to me, but what do I know.

Wow! Gorgeous color and clean. Nice 👍

That would be cool. Hope you can get it up and running. Not sure what the deal is with these and being so hard to come by. The actual Dansco website is basically wiped out and has nothing. Hope you can get some stock for your store. Good luck my friend.

That they do. Wow you have quite a set! Very nice! After seeing how nice this one is I would like to get a few more.

I even took one of the pages out and looked it over trying to figure it out. Should come with instructions for this meathead .

Thanks. It is top quality for sure. It’s fun to look for coins that I’m not worried about finding full steps or paying an arm and a leg for the coins. May take a while to finish but I’m in no hurry.

Took me a minute to figure out how to get the plastic slides out.

They are not so easy to find and some sellers want a ton of money for them. Found this one on ebay. There were only 3 that I saw on there total for this particular album. This one is brand new. Had to get the dust jacket from a different seller. This one goes from 1938 to 2011 with proofs. (6 pages) it’s certainly a beefy album compared to my cheap Harris folders I have for my change find collection. I wanted this to be a nice all MS album. Its a very nice presentation. I really like it.

I got my first DANSCO album today for a little side project I’m working on. I have my regular circulation albums/folders that I have had for years, but I thought I would try to put a “nicer” album together. I didn’t realize just how nice these really are. I am impressed to say the least. I have several MS65/66 nickels that I used for research purposes and decided to crack them out and start this album. I have been buying other cheap slabbed nickels here and there to crack out and fill this thing up. The good thing is that I can get any kind of slab I want (ANACS/PCGS/ICG) since it is getting taken out anyway. I figure a nice 65/66 coin would make a good album coin and I can get them fairly cheap. I’ll get raw coins too if I can find some good pieces. Like I said, a fun little side project.

Did they do the “Advanced Purchase/release” on these too? That doesn’t help the common collector either.

I don’t even mess with it anymore after trying for the V75 Eagle last year. If I can’t get it through enrollment, I don’t even try. Funny how nobody can get through on the website yet they all sell out in minutes.

Thanks. I like the design too. Too bad it’s so little. I really like it on the palladium reverse proof eagle.

Fine looking piece. Sharp.

@Woods020 This guy aint messing around. Both very nice. That SLQ is a dandy.

I did some research on this coin before I picked it up. I don’t know copper much at all, but I didn’t want your run of the mill woodie. Ill have to check it better once I get it but I think I see at least one marker saying its an LDS and have seen 2 different mintages for it. If it was a higher grade, I probably wouldn’t have been able to afford it .
