I made a Showcase virtual album - half full box of 20

I have always admired these albums as a really cool feature, and finally completed one of my own. The set will be added to as I get coins back from grading.

The box of 20 is only half full.. or is it half empty? As a side note, 6 out of the 10 were bought raw.

MS66 taste on an MS63 budget.

    I love it! That 1936 year set you have in progress has killer coins and I would be happy with every single one of them. As an aside, I have also built two of these sets, but haven't published either of them for public viewing. My Bo20 is similarly only partially filled because I have never thought I had twenty coins "worthy" of the project.

    Nice coins. I admit that I am partial to the 1913 proof nickel simply because I like proof buffaloes!



    If you don't mind answering, which ones did you buy raw?

    I have some others that could go in this set, but they are either waiting in line at the slabfest, or in NGC holders. Probably not 20 though, I don't even own 20 slabbed coins.

    The 1936 coins all came out of the same plastic holder set, and presumably were in the same album. The lincoln was just "OK" and the buffalo was not toned very much, and had a huge spot right on his nose.

    The walker looks a bit better than a 65 at least to me, it may see another trip in eventually.

    That's quite the eye you have there on raw coins, and the album is cool!

    Very nice! I'd really like to do one of those albums myself... one of these days

    Looks great. Love the Showcase section of the Registry. Lots of possibilities.

    Lookin good CB. I think walkers are very over looked. Glad someone likes them as much as me.

    I'm impressed. Very nice, well done. Yes, you do have a great eye my friend. No question about it. image
    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
