Several of y'all have seen me post numerous different items for sale. I am pretty new here still, and am trying to build up a good reputation. I have received some really good advice and help from lots of y'all, and would like to say thank you. Below I have posted pictures of what I am currently working on, which are the reasons I am trying to sell off other parts of my collection. It's a long road ahead of me, but take a peek, feel free to comment, and enjoy!

Cool, good luck with those sets!
Collector, occasional seller
Nice sets.
Super! Keep up the good work!
@coastalpride85 Any one of these sets your favorite? Do you have a favorite coin?
Wow! Dansco love! Excellent. I am also a fan of the dansco slide books. It’s great to be able to see so many on a single page. Nice proof collection too. Thanks for sharing.

I think the Washingtons are my favorite, I've worked pretty hard on getting it built up. Favorite coin--I think that is too hard of a question.
@Aspie_Rocco, I also have a complete Dansco Silver Eagle album, currently working on adding pages to finish the Proof Eagle run.
Excellent sets! It looks like you have some very high quality coins across the board. What is your plan for the better dates? Are you going to buy them in a similar grade as the rest but slabbed? I know I wouldn't want to crack an AU 26-S Buffalo (nor buy a raw one!)
Very nice sets you have going there.
Nice. Cool avatar also Coastalpride.
I recently found my enthusiasm of dansco again and currently filling a Roosevelt 46-present, Eisenhower, Lincoln 09-81, silver dollars 1879-93, 1894-35, And Washington 32-98 is on the mail.
I have several complete BU Jefferson Nickel danscos, lol, they are a lot of fun for me. I have a few complete SBA dansco also.
It makes for a heavy library.

My intent is to keep with the theme of BU coins as far as possible across all the sets. Some of the dates I will have no choice but to buy slabs if I can even afford them lol! I have cracked several slabs to get the coins in the album (the empty holes irk me). The 3 proof quarters I have still in slabs might find their way into the album...but I am not sure..the 53 Washington proof is a 66 Cam, the 41 is a 66 and the 42 is a 65 in an old white PCGS slab.
Thank you, the avatar is the 1909 in my collection. It sounds like your library is very heavy! I have 2 "treasure chests" as my kids call them that house my albums.
Those are lofty goals and are looking good. The '37D and '34 P quarters look really nice !
That pre-short set stuff can be tough......
Very nice Washington set. Mine is just a plain old circulated set of quarters.
Nice job.

Very nice albums.... A lot of collecting there.... and still some holes to fill...How many years have you been working on these? Cheers, RickO
The Washingtons I started this year,. The Lincoln's and buffalos about 2 yrs, although I took a break from them..let them sit for a while. It's tough picking out the right coin to fit in the set!
Washingtons are awesome.
I really like the looks of the buffalo nickels in the Dansco, makes me want to pick up a book and start a set. I just find it hard to want to start books now in the days of slabs. I have the Lincoln book and when you crack out the keys to fill a hole you just wonder if you are doing the right thing.
I see they put the 37-D 3 legger hole in the book. This is the one thing I do not like about the Danscos. Just like the 22 Plain hole in the Lincoln book. It is a variety from overused and worn die and shouldn't be in a date/mm set, in my opinion.
Looks like you have a lot of fun and searching ahead of you. Enjoy the chase!
Nice sets you have going...

That 1934-D Buff looks good from afar. LIBERTY is real nice, and the central obverse looks better than most, although the central knot detail seems to be routinely weak. The reverses usually look real good on 34-D, but with the obverse problems it is real difficult to find one above MS-64.
You're doing a great job! Love your Washies.

Thank you very much! I have since decided to put up the Buffalos for sale.
Here's some better pics for you of the 34-D
I have a compete Dansco Silver Eagle album.
I never thought of doing proof pages.
Hmmmmmmm.....
looks like you're having fun with those albums @coastalpride85
Nice thread

Thank you kindly,. I've enjoyed the ASE Proof building, somehow I have acquired several more toned ASE's (which is completely off target) in my hunt to make the Proof pages. It will take awhile, but I do plan to include the 95 W in this set, raw of course..but there nonetheless.
@coastalpride85 You have a mighty fine set of Dansco’s. And I thought my collection was eclectic. Thank you for sharing! 😁
Thank you very much!
Update for the Washingtons:
