    Let's go ahead and finish out folder #1 before we have
    much more discussion on #2, #3 and #4.

    Please add me to the list for folder 2! 😎

    I will add to the second folder as well.

    Yep! I was going to get it this morning on the way in to work but there was quite a line. I'll grab it on my way home.
    Your timing is amazing as I literally just PM'd @jesbroken for his address :D

    Oops—That is my doing, I apologize.

    @ChrisH821
    There is one issue I am working with @WQuarterFreddie to resolve. If you look in the list of contributions you'll notice that 1919-S is there twice. That's because the coin contributed by @Jzyskowski1 was erroneously placed in the 1918-S slot.

    Holy cow, you donated a 1909-s VDB?! @ChrisH821
    And the 1931-s as well. This project just turned legendary!

    The 31-S is from @Farmer_Bill I've edited the post to be a little more clear.
    I needed an excuse to upgrade that 09-S VDB, It looks like Lincoln got into a bit of a knife fight. IMO it is also lightly cleaned.

    Since Peoria is(was) the home of Caterpillar I took a couple pictures of the album with the old Cat D7 outside of Peoria Proving Grounds.

    Added the 09-s VDB


    Farmer_Bill added this nice 31-S

    The album as it stands:

    Dangerously close to complete now.
    I'll get it on its way to @jesbroken tomorrow morning.

    Well, blow me down!
    The 2019 W and the other “1909 S VDB” are yours. Tough sacrifice.

    Thanks, I realized just after I posted the pics that the state was not noted. It's on there now... oh but I didn't add the date... and it's already packaged up.

    What a wonderful idea and collection. Great addition @ChrisH821 I've made some mostly S mints to the first page. Hopefully they are acceptable and add to our mission. I will try to get them out Monday morning when I get DCW's address. Going to insure them for $2000, my best estimate.

    Please count me in on this too. I'm sure I have some that can fill holes.

    A Question: Why did you decide on the folder rather than a Whitman classic album? In the folder the coins are relatively unprotected and can fall out, additionally, once the 09-S VDB is populated no one will be able to tell that it is an 09-S VDB since only one side will be visible.

    Just look at the mintmark position, and you're halfway there.

    Has the 14-D and 22-P been filled?

    No P in 1922, just Ds. I added the 1914 D.
    John the Painter sent me the address, so you guys can ignore my messages if I sent you one about getting it.
    @Tibor —The folder It lacks about a dozen. I do not have an extra 24 D nor 22 D, most of us have the others.
    @Tom147 —Do you still have the label from the slab that you cracked open?

    The quality of your coinsexceeds what I suggested at the beginning.

    I'm not sure. Probably not. I do have a picture with the cert # but don't think the actual label.

    I think that the folder pics give an idea. 18 S - 22 D - 23 S - 24 D - 26 S - 27 S
    36 D - 37 D - 38 D - 38 S - 39 D - 40 D. DCW is next.
    @ChrisH821 — I should have taken your advice about the folder, it would not have been a great difference in shipping, after all.

    It is coming to me, then to @seanq
    Slim pickings at the end, as was to be expected. I probably have the 30s dates, but I dont want to plug all the easy ones. Perhaps after Sean, we can change the title for volunteers that have the remaining coins. Would be great to just plug in a single coin and send down the line

    I was planning to slip a clipped planchet in there, but the dates that are left are pretty tough and I am not sure if I have any duplicates lying around. I may just put in a regular coin or two towards the date set and swap out one of the later coins with a clip if that's okay.

    Check the list for what I placed into the board and feel free to pop any of mine out for the replacement. No worries at all.

    More easy dates remaining than hard dates left is ideal. There’s no rush @seanq . Ask the individual if you can switch? (Especially if he added several cents and you add a clipped planchet for that date.) That is why I wanted a list. All of us understand that the most interesting coins are good for the folder.

    I figured that it will come to something like that. Freddie can handle the finishing touches and mail it off if it is ready or near ready. I’ll hear any clever title suggestions.

    Tibor, I've already bought book # 3 as well as a PCGS 55 S ms64 red in a PCGS holder which I'll crack out for book 2. As for the empty spots in book # 1, when it gets down to a few left. If I don't have them, I'll reach out to Charmy ( the penny lady ), pay for them and just have her ship them to whomever has the book at that time.

    Really good news each time I log in. I have the Book 2 and my
    contribution. @Tom 147 has a special "1955-S" that he will place
    into the book. Until then, there is a "Shield" cent in that space.
    @seanq any of the cents I placed can be replaced with a clipped
    piece.
