We are sorely lacking for an updated Type coin album, what do you think?

    Some inconsistencies: Why Draped Bust copper but no Draped Bust Silver? Also if you're going to include lettered edge Capped halves then you should also include large diameter Capped dimes and quarters.

    I do like all the Seated Liberty slots. If they made one that stopped at 1964 I might be interested. Zero interest in moderns. Also the "Made in China" is a deal killer. Will probably fall apart after a year. I would pay more for something made here.

    You could fill it in with coins made in china - that might be fitting.

    Made in China. Fail.

    It never ceases to amaze me that company execs cannot sense the mood of the nation.

    Seems woefully incomplete. At least in the area of cents.

    This one looks like they copied the 7070, as far as the issues included and excluded.

    I would trade every clad coin for a single Liberty Cap or Flowing Hair ten times over. Better yet I'd just spend 'em.

    Some of the omissions are baffling. Why not include the 1837 No Stars half dime and dime? Those are far less expensive than getting both types of Seated Dollars or a Trade Dollar. Plenty of Draped Bust minor silver coins are also cheaper to acquire. Gold dollars and Quarter Eagles too.

    It looks like a very boring album as they are omitting all the challenging coins from the 1700’s as well as attainable coins like large sized capped bust dimes among other things.
