Yes, pass on that album. You may have to get the Intercept just to have one.

Yeah, I agree. Intercept here I come!

 

Has anyone had an issue with this? "Note that this album was manufactured with a hole for the Braided Hair Large Cent that is too small."

 

Dansco 7070 and Intercept Shield type set albums are basically interchangeable. The IS album is higher quality.

if you want something more complete, you can go for the Library of Coins type Set albums.

You do realize that you can get that coin in better quality for cheaper in a slab, right?

Library of Coins, eh? Interesting. Looked at some on ebay. These look very old.
I think I'll start with Intercept.

I didn't shop around for that coin, just found it quickly as an example.

 

And everyone things their definition is correct...

 

Gee, I'm a newbie so know nada about this really, but it seems to me it would be simple: every coin that was minted.

 

Do a little research first and apply that to what interest you. Then go from there.

 

Sounds good.

 

There's a good Red Book Guide to US Type Coins by Q.D. Bowers you might want to read.

 

Cool. Thanks. I just looked and found it on Amazon. Description says "even if you had an unlimited budget and 50 years to spend, you could not build a complete collection."
That cuts me to the quick because I'm a completist by tendency!

 

I’m nowhere near an expert, but I’ve found reading coin books is a great way to get started.
