Dansco Lincoln Cent Album question

I wanted to purchase a Dansco album for my Lincoln Cents from Brent Krueger, but I'm in a quandary. Originally, I planned to buy the 1959 - Date album (7102) , but now I'm considering the Lincoln Cents 1909 to date album (7100). Could anyone offer their opinion on the benefits of either? I'm leaning toward the larger album, but I'm looking for a little guidance. Thanks.

    My album that starts at 1909 ends in 1974, although there are some additional ports without markings.

    I am not sure if they have added pages since I bought mine. I ended up with two books. The 09 - 74 and a second book that is the Lincoln-Memorial series.
  • I've got a 7100 I bought a little over 20 years ago. Apparently, they've changed their number designations since then. Mine certainly has holes for the proof only issues. It had printed dates up to 1983-S plus six more holes and there's room for another page.

    I'd guess the new albums use the 1-1/4" binder and include holes up to 2006 for the 7100 and 2007 for the 8100. You can always ask.

    Brian, go with what you think you'll collect. If you know you're never going to collect wheaties, there isn't much point in paying the extra money for the 7100/8100. I think it's more likely you'll want to collect them eventually, though, and eight bucks for 50 more years is a pretty good deal.

    Same here - mine is decades only and I never added pages for the last decades coins

    If you want to collect the wheaties, you'll want the 7100 (8100 if you want to collect proofs) Dansco #'s albums with no proof holes in the 7000 series and with proof holes as 8000 series.
    I don't have my inventory in front of me to check but I'm pretty sure the 7100 goes to 2007 and room for 1 or 2 more pages. You can get the pages blank or as a continuation of previous pages. Have Fun any way you go!
  • I've got the 8100 for cents from 1909 to present plus Proof issues. Love it. Had the 7100 first and upgraded.

    I just looked at my Lincolns and I'm horrified at eh spotting on my proofs that I put in there.... That being said Memorials are ok but wheaties are where it's at in Lincolns.
