The FDC's are housed in a large currency album. On page 6 you will see the FDC's taking a new direction in design...small profile, large black band to carry the new Mint logo. Not a fan.

Why would the Mint change the look so much in mid-stream? They've added their new logo in an oversized black band that reduces the size of the portrait. Next to the Lincoln cover Johnson looks puny.

I have 10 sets of each myself.

I think that in a year or two, these coins will be mint set and roll only...Sac-like.

I collect these too and have been thinking about how I would display them.

I like the Presidential Dollar FDC program, I think it's a good way to get first strike coins.
These sets are put together from the very first business strike coins.

I thought the "first strike" coins might have caught on...

It is well known that Lincoln had periods of depression that he called, "the lows." The fact that we do not see pictures of him smiling is not a reflection of this, however. People almost never smiled in photos in those days. In fact any photo from that period that shows someone smiling is a collectors' item. The reason was that the photo emulsions at that were slow, and the non smiling pose was easier to hold.
Here are some very poor pics of my set so far.
I organize mine in a Light House Grande Album, Vario 2C holders, and black separator pages.

The four 2012 covers in this series P41 thru P44 have one of five weathervane stamps.
Has anyone here managed to secure all 20 variations?
Many of the covers in the second hand market are offered for sale still sealed in their white mailer envelope.
Doesn't make being a rabid collector easy...
please PM me anytime. I like moderns.

I thought so too.
I still have about 25 sealed Washington First day Cover sets and about 130 PCGS MS 65 First Day of Issue Washington Dollars that I never sold. The market collapsed before I could make anything off them when I did a bulk submission.
