First up a 20/19, love this variety O-102, the overdate is so pronounced:

Next up an 1828 O-118, which is the sq 2 small 8 and lg letters, love the colorful circ busties:

This NGC holder was giving me some trouble, I ended up taking off the top cover, and set free this 1826. Still need to consult the attribution guide. HRH would always say to have fun with your coins - and figuring out attribution and working on completing an album checks all the box for me:

one of these days i'll get around to figuring out photography. I hope everyone has an awesome weekend
Exactly "HOW" are you breaking them out? What are you using?
Thats a cool project BigAI, I like how you are sticking to matching circ toned theme- it will take longer to complete but will look AMAZING once they are all together
Sometimes slab collecting can be a real pain....I break some out myself. Enjoy your coins the way you want!!!

I used a pipe vice !
I imagine those books do not contain any PVC correct? If so were can I buy one for SLH 1839-1891?

Try taking your pictures directly over the coins/slabs, not at a angle. Also, take the slides out of the Dansco before you take your pictures. The plastic sleeves give off a glare/reflection.
And don't forget to take the camera lens off the camera.
I also hope he's taking pictures of the slabs before he breaks the coins out. Print out the pictures, scotch tape the barcode label to the pictures and put them in a clear sleeve in the back of the albums.
That looks like a Dansco album. They should not have PVC but the albums can tone the coins over the years (the environment makes a difference too). I checked a few website and they are all out of stock for Seated Halfs. There are some on eBay but the prices are high ($180+ for new and over $100 for used). You would have to watch eBay to see if anyone lists one for less or wait until some of the suppliers get more in stock (Dansco production can be slow so some albums can be out of stock for years).
Fun project! I like the matching look so far!
