Were it me, I'd skip the bullion ASE in favor of adding the 1878 and 1921 Morgan, and 1921 peace subtypes.
The Sac dollars and Presidential dollars are tough, far too many different types to include them all, yet picking one seems odd, too.
I'd probably end the whole thing at year 2000 and skip all the recent stuff.
That said, overall, vast improvement and kudos!
Ps: about that custom page....😉
All these options were such a back and forth thing in my head. I am kicking myself a little about not doing high relief and reg strike Peace dollars.
A part of me wanted to keep it simple and the other part wanted to add every single variety and type to the book. I chose to stay in the middle and refer to how PCGS breaks them down in coinfacts.
In the end, it still displays wonderfully when flipping through it in the book.
4 kinds of gold dollars (to include open wreath type 1)
Classic head quarter and half eagle.
3 dollar
No motto and with motto libs (3 x 20s)
No motto and with motto Indian 10 and saints.
I absolutely am impressed with your work and dedication to this project. Years from now after we are long gone, I imagine this being in the Stacks/Bowers/Heritage auction listed as: "Unique, possibly Dansco prototype album, which however much we tried getting in touch with Dansco descendants could not verify authenticity. Our estimate: $1.2M"
And then in hammers at $1.4M !!!

I'd swap the ASE for a bust dollar. Seated dollars are now just about on a price par with some lower grade Bust ones.
The Dansco system of two seated dollars isn't much of a change.
Update!
Created a new Dansco gold page concept via Photoshop. Felt this a better layout and includes some missing types. (Excluding motto varieties and very early gold coins that are basically $$$$$)
Page looks great! They appear to be some beautiful examples.
Once again, I like your coin choices.
The Dansco gold type page I'm using is missing the 4 coins that you've included holes for.
All 4 are reasonably obtainable and should have been included.
Put me down for one of these when you start production.
I like it, but really wish instead of denominations someone would build a book by type. so all seated in one section, capped bust in one area, etc. that would be a cool set to look at.
I would love to produce multiple versions of albums. Like a level series of type sets such as "Basic US Type Set", "Regular US Type Set", and "Elite US Type Set". All depending how complete you want your collection to be.

Variety is everything.
Why include the 1796 small eagle quarter?? If you have the $$$ to own one, are you really gonna stick it in an album? I think most people will have that coin encapsulated by one of the grading companies instead. The Heraldic eagle is more attainable to own and display in a nice F15 or even VF20
There's a reason why Chain Cents, Flowing Hair Dollars, and etc are not even included in albums.
I remember the Whitman Small Denomination Type set from years ago... spots for a Chain Cent, 93 Half Cent, '96 quarter. .. it was unobtainium back then. Now that I might actually buy one, I'd buy authenticated and keep it that way.
I'm actually thinking about finishing the 7070, and then go for a box of 20 that included some 18th Century type...

After almost a year, I'd thought I update everyone on this forum. Here's my current collection so far with the album. I'd never thought I get this far! I hope in the future to get better photos that really capture the look of all the coins sitting in the album. But in the meantime, I'm still plugging away and looking to fill those empty spots.
I like your type selections better than Dansco or Whitman. (maybe too many motto/no mottos though)
Enjoyed watching the process from the beginning. Skillfully done!
There's room next to the ASE for the Innovation Dollars....?

I was on the fence with those Innovation Dollars. I really thought they were just horrendous but now I'm warming up to them. I'll probably add the new 2021 ASE redesign and the Innovation dollar in the future.
Absolutely fantastic execution, thanks for sharing! There's a lot to be said for collecting and organizing your collection "your way". Here on this forum is where we're most likely to share what we do with other like minded folks, and the unique nature and professional look of your set deserves to be noted.
Heya, i was wondering if there was any way i could pay for you to design (template, not make one) one of these with basically every us type coin besides the gold and commemoratives, if needed I could pool every coin I wanted and the years they were there, thanks!

Has "absolutely impressive" been included in all the superlatives thrown your way?

Impressive! You do very nice work @Bullet01
You did a terrific job making your album as it looks professionally done.

Album looks great. Quite the learning experience.
Nope. It took me months to create just mine and I don't think Dansco is in business anymore to acquire more blank pages.
