Wildcard find? - Old 1953 coin album

I'm not sure this would count as a "wildcard find":

My grandmother Elsie died in 1978 and my mom inherited her house and things.
Elsie was a coin collector and for years my mom has been finding coin rolls and pill bottles filled with coins.
Recently we went through another box of Elsie's stuff and found this album.

It is a US Roosevelt Dime album published by Wayte Raymond Inc, NY.
A handwritten note on the cover reads "Elsie Lee / Christmas 1953 / From Ned" (her husband).
The album has uncirculated dimes up to 1953 and a few circulated ones later.
The 1949-S, 1950-S, and 1951-S are missing; Elsie probably moved them to other albums.
Elsie handwrote the mintage counts.

    Looks nice. WR boards are known to bring on some nice colors in silver.

    After reading the post about WR albums and toning,
    I popped a couple of the dimes out of the album and scanned them.

    The left coin is a 1946-S and the right is a 1947(P).
    The sides shown are the sides which were facing the album backing.
