    I have not yet can certainly see why you did! Stunningly beautiful cent. I'd imagine even if you replaced it with another and then listed back at an auction you would break even, more or less.
    I am looking forward to seeing it upon arrival to you. Sweet cent!

    Edited to add:
    Those older Library of Coins albums are cool (and collectable) too.

    I have only purchased new, empty albums. Though I can understand a collector doing that in some circumstances. Cheers, RickO

    I like those old Library of Coins albums so much I bought half a dozen just to have the albums. They are so nostalgic for me.

    I bought the complete set in a Dansco for this one at an ANA years ago. The price was very right.

    Yes, then again, the album only had one coin in it!

    Way back in college I bought a group of Whitman Lincoln cent folders at an estate sale, very typical partial sets with many holes, but there in one of the slots for the 1922 No D was a 1922 No D.

    I have also done the opposite and bought a bunch of coins for the album. Specifically, I have several partial sets of British minor coins in very scarce Whitman Bookshelf albums.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    Yes, a large cent album. It was by only opportunity to get a decent looking 1799 large cent at a reasonable price. Half the value was tied up in that one coin. I paid $8,000 for the set of large cents. The 1799 was half the value of the set.

    Now I bought one cheap album for a bunch of coins. Seller said nothing was toned B) Even with his bad photos I can see nice color.

    I haven't but, looking back to when I was just getting started on toned coins, I missed out on 3 opportunities....
    Two were roosevelt dimes and one was a franklin set.
    I tried to buy just the ones I liked but it was an all or nothing. Price, overall for all the coins, was not much out of the reasonable range for normal looking coins.

    I was cheap, I missed out. I learned.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    I have and would again. Dependent on the price mind you, some of the remainder going towards upgrades while the remainder were sold or traded for a small profit.
