    @Meltdown - I always liked the idea of putting the reverse of some of the types on the front pages of my 7070 as well. 👍

    I didn't post pics because the album isn't complete, but I do the same thing in my 7070. For example, it seemed like a sin not to have the arrows & rays quarter and half with the reverse up.

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

    @ARCO What was the average grade of those beautiful Barbers when you sent them in to PCGS?


    Later, Paul.

    Thanks Stooge. It started as a VF-XF set. The VFs were VF30-35 and the majority were XF and some AU coins. Probably around XF40 was the average.

    Maybe complete, but wouldn't say finished with them. There's always that 1 or 2 that you'd love to upgrade.

    Theses are beautiful!

    I'm nervous about cracking out some Peace dollars that I bought already in slabs. I need them for my set, and would love to have them in my album. But I have not yet gotten up the nerve to break them out. They are not high grade/value (most are AU, some even AU details), so I really should just do it...

    I can't remember where I found this holder but I had fun filling in the holes.

    Did any of your coins give you a problem going into those holes?

    Not really but the 3c silver, bust half dime and bust dime are a little loose in the holes.

    These beautiful albums remind of the excitement of collecting as a kid. Sometimes I feel like a dope for playing the “slab game”.

    My first set, started in 1963 as an 8-yr-old Cub Scout. Worked on it for three straight years, but never found a ‘52-S or ‘55-S. Nearly all coins were taken from rolls that my dad would bring home after work. Later, in high school, I remember printing the dates below the blank holes on the third page, starting with 1964, and then adding the later dates.

    The album has looked like this for 50 years; never had the desire to fill the missing holes.

    Man @FreeThinker - You are singing my exact song from 62 years ago. I was also 8 or 9 years old. I couldn't find the 55-S anywhere. I had to buy it, to complete the set. It was the very first coin I bought. I think I paid 50¢ for it.

    I can still hear my dad saying: YOU PAID HOW MUCH FOR A PENNY?!?!?!?!?! 🤣

    I thought I was clever. I scotch taped my coins in place to keep them from falling out! 🤣 😂 :D The tape had pretty much dried up and fell off.

    >

    Your dad and mine were cut from the same cloth. It never occurred to me to actually buy a coin I needed, probably because I knew what his answer would be. First of all, he would give me "that look," which always scared the crap out of me. Rarely would any discussion go further than that. :D

    I also still have the first album, 1909-1940. It's about 1/3 complete, mostly with cents from the 30s and a few 20s and teens with very few of them having a D or S mint mark. I did find a slick 1909-P in a roll once; I was so darn proud of that coin I took it to school and kept it in my desk. Unfortunately, by the end of the school year when we were cleaning out our desks, I discovered it had somehow disappeared.

    I had a somewhat similar story. In 64, I would save up 50 penny's I didn't need. On Saturday mornings I would get on my bike, ride into town to the nearest bank and ask for a Kennedy half dollar. I would do that as often as I could. I kept one in my pocket and took it to school and showed friends. I was so proud of these Kennedy's, I still have them today.
