Who here is working on an album?

[SkyMan]

I'm enjoying plugging raw coins into my Dansco album. Who here is working on an album (or more than one). Mention the ones that you've completed too. It doesn't have to be a Dansco album. I'm working on Franklins and Washingtons (from 1940 - 1964). Here's a '45-S from the latter album...

I actually never had much use for albums. Just a personal prejudice. Looking at what your albums did to that coin, I think I might reconsider.

[HCumberdale]

I keep a 7070 that I play with from time to time. Nice coins with problems find a home there, or perhaps the occasional coin that comes as a tag-along to another purchase.

 

I still have a Canadian small cents album that is mostly complete and filled with circulated coins that came with larger collections I bought, though I haven't added anything to that in a long time.

 

I have a soft spot for albums as a concept, but practically I don't think they are very useful to me anymore. If I ever wanted to put together a mid-circulated Barber half or quarter set I might go the album route however.

I'm working on a complete collection of coin albums and folders, but I wouldn't think of injuring them by inserting coins. I'm at 10,000+ already.

It might help if you wrote a book or 2.....

WOW 10,000+ THAT SOUNDS LIKE OVER 200 FEET OF SHELF SPACE. GREAT COLLECTION.

[RWB]

I made a picture frame and a little shelf-thingy in shop class -- never got good enough with the band saw to make an album....

Cool idea on the 7070 - I also have one that I add to when I go to coin shows.

[dadams]

I started on a 7070 about a year ago. Not including the gold page there are 76 holes to fill I'm up to 54 - Still looking for large cents, shield nickels, and a majority of the bust and seated coinage.

 

Too me, as a new collector, this set has immensely helped me learn about the different types of US coinage. As I set my sights on a particular hole to fill I study and read as much as I can get my hands on about that type and try to view as many as I can in person before pulling the trigger on a coin. In the long run (I think) I'm leaning towards being a type collector since in all honesty I don't think I have the patience to focus on one long running set of the same series.

That's incredible.

 

P.S. When does your new book come out? You had posted about it on the forums a few months ago.

Plugging away at a 7070 but have really cut back this last year. Probably not even half way complete and no coin shows here in Montana so it slows down progress.

[messydesk]

I bought an undated "Dimes" album last year, because I had some decent loose Mercs that came from another album and a set of Roosies from through 1978 from an old Harco album. I'd like to think I'll add to the Mercs to eventually complete it from 1916-78. Perhaps I'll put an altered 16-D in after I buy a slabbed good one. I do like the look and feel of a filled out Dansco. I think I'll get a Franklin Dansco, too, since I have a lot of those coins in album-worthy grades.
