Introduction
Hello my name is Mark and I started out collecting metal, still do but I soon found that I needed books to put the different metal discs in. I mainly play with half dollars but occasionally I'll do dimes and rarely quarters.
My books include #1 a Dansco Kennedy w/ Proofs which is full except about half of the modern silver proofs.
#2 Dansco Franklin which is full except for the dreaded '55, I also have a cheap Franklin album which has 5 empty spaces. I got the cheapo cause when I was upgrading the Dansco some of the coins were just too good to go into tubes.
#3 Dansco Walking Liberty which has a long way to go but I have already surpassed expectations and on rare occasions I get to fill a hole.
#4 Cheapo silver Roosevelt album w/ only 3 vacancies, '46S, '49, '50.
#5 Cheapo Mercury album w/ 18 holes filled- oldest being 1918. And last but not least.
#6 Cheapo silver Washington albums I just got a couple weeks ago for my Bday. I promptly filled the 6 spots I could in them.
Anyways I'm still really just a metalman(iac) but all these books have really added to my enjoyment. I also find things I don't really want but won't throw back too- like the 3 rolls worth of 1987 Kennedy's (2 D's and 1 P) and the 150 clad proofs that I haven't sold yet.
BTW the oldest coin I've found is a 1854 Seated Liberty half. I've gotten 3 or 4 Barber halves but that don't warrant the $20 for another Dansco.
Happy Hunting all, Mark
