    Looking good there. Especially with the dollars and gold. I'm doing a Dansco type also. Very enjoyable in my opinion. image

    Hey Mass, great set in progress! I was scrolling down, saying nice, nice, good start, lots of fun ahead, then wham!
    Gold page almost done!

    I agree, super fun set to assemble, and most of these continue to be a work in progress as they are upgraded..

    please update the thread when you get some more coins! (and a little more light in the pics wouldn't hurt image )

    Thanks Baley,

    I was actually waiting for you to reply as it was your thread a while back that got me going on one of these. I totally agree about the lighting for the pics, and I'll work on that. More to come, thanks again!

    Very nice start you have there.

    One recommendation I have on these things, turn your bi-centennial and state quarter around so the back is showing. That is the important side of those coins, might as well present it first.

    Otherwise, looking good!

    I passed on the gold pages...you've got a great start there...
  • Nice job getting your copper shots. Just ordered the Dansco Type set album (#7070) from Brent-Krueger Co. a few days ago--They have them on sale right now.
    Curmudgeon in waiting!
  • Very nice set, especially the gold. I too was scrolling down your pages and then I said, "wow, he's almost done with the gold page!". I've said this many times here, I'm having a blast putting together my Dansco type set. I highly recommend it.

    There have been multiple threads posted recently on type sets and nice pictures of the sets people are working on. So..............., I could not resist and picked up a Dansco Type Set album today from a local shop along with a Morgan (1880-S, MS63DMPL).

    Am now happily filling in the album with my favorite singles for multiple series. So far, I have placed into the album an 1847 Coronet Large Cent (F-12), a 1909-S Lincoln (MS-65 RB), a 1938-D Buffalo (MS65), a 1943-D Silver Jefferson (MS65), a 1924-S Standing Liberty Quarter (AU-58 to MS-63 depending on if there is rub on lady Liberty's right knee), an 1830, Capped Bust Half (EF-45), the above referenced Morgan and a 1972-S Silver IKE (MS66-67). More holes will be filled later tonite, some of which will be CAM/DCAM proofs and SMS coins and some of which will be toned coins.

    What fun, I should have done this long ago. The album will look very nice with more coins in it.
