Im closing in on the last few dates in one of the dansco sets Ive been working on for months(buffalo nickels) and getting pretty excited about it. Ive tried to get better coins than I have in the past(F-XF) and the set looks really nice. Anyone else get worked up when they see the last few holes in an album filled?

    On my type set Dansco I don't want to purchase the half dimes. They're too small, kind of pricey for upper grades and seem to slide between the plastic insert album sleeve.

    I wish, in a way, they were not included. In fact, I wish the type album skipped three cent silvers; half dimes; and dimes.
    (I also don't like the 1976 page. It's boring and distracts from the overall presentation of the complete set.)

    You should be excited, I know I do when a set is close to completion. The trick, I think, is to stay as patient as you were when you just started the set.

    Well, I've been missing the 1920D and S walkers from my registry set for a good 5 years now, so the excitement of finishing that has faded away!
    My 7070 has been complete for years, except for the With Motto seated dollar - I really want a nice 1873, and have never seen one that I wanted, and I like the two No Motto
    dollars that I have, so at least the hole is filled image
    My Buff nickel album is complete, albeit there's a few upgrades I would like to get some time. I think the 3-legger was the last one I got, and hadn't really planned on buying one, but wound up with one via a large package deal from one of my wholesale friends.
    And I refuse to put my large cents into my Dansco - many of my better coins are slabbed, but that's just an excuse. Really I don't want to see all those empty holes in those early years and varieties image

    Just finished two sets and couldn't be happier image

    Those last few empty holes in a Dansco can keep you up at nights...

    My anticipation is highest whenever I start a set. It wanes somewhere near the end and I usually end up not filling all the holes (the remaining hole fillers are expensive, lost interest in the set, wish I would have bought better coins, etc). I have never completed a full album. The closest I've gotten is my Dansco 7070 in which I was only missing the NM Seated Dollar. I then sold the WM Seated and Trade Dollar because I needed some bucks and they were consuming many bucks just filling holes in an album.

    Actually never as I have never had a Dansco album and will never have one. image
    Anymore if it's worth collecting to me it is slabbed or in Mint original packaging.

    I did a Toner Morgan date set, mostly raw, some crackouts,..........
    it was alot of fun to do....

    Thought it would be prudent to have them certified, sent them off
    to PCGS, and they all graded quite nicely, no AT's

    it was a nice feeling to have plucked them all and get the blessing
    of our host.....one of the raw Monsters came back 66....image
