My goal was MS63 with the 93-95 keys in AU. I also didn't want the set to be just the cheapest priced common date for each year so I added some "excitement" to the set by including the following: 78 8TF, 83-CC, 84-CC (in addition to the 82-CC in the CC Mintmark spot), 92-O & 99-(P). I'm so glad I finished this when I did, the book value has more than doubled since.

You're my kind of guy................breaking them out!! We should start our own club!! 😉 🤣
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
@MASSU2- On a side note, I do similar to what you do with a slight difference. I also have a clear plastic sleeve in the back of my albums. I take pictures of the slabs first, break out the coin, print out the picture and scotch tape the bar codes to the pictures. This is just one of them.
I like your idea of taking a picture before breaking the slab & affixing the grade & barcode, but I've already broken out 70+ coins. Wish I would of thought of that, but just kept the Grade and affixed next to coin in album. It did help when I sold some coins as it did affirm the grade that I was selling and the dealer didn't have to meticulously inspect the coin to know there were no obvious issues or overgrades.

Thanks! I have no intention of selling these. It's just a reference point for when they get past down to the family.

Very nice selection of small cents @hfjacinto! Wondering why this type set wouldn't have a Flying Eagle slot?
Lousy pictures but you get the point. They're all there, up to 1980 anyway. This album is done!
