I made an album to show what coins circulated during the years. At each change in design, I made a new row. I am still working on after 1975 because there are sooooo many changes. If you guys have any ideas, let me know. I might try to take better picture if anyone wants me to.
Interesting concept, I love it. I notice that you've excluded overlap but I'm not sure how you'd handle the extra hole. 1916 for example had both Barber and Mercury dimes. I suppose you could just add a caveat to the 1913-1915 label by adding something like "(1916 dimes)".
I corrected the bicentennial coins because the 1776-1976 were minted starting in 1975. I also need help with the last page. No more pages fit in the book and there are way too many changed to continue the same format. Any ideas?
Russell, great thread. As far as how to deal with that page, I would ask how much farther you intend to go with it? I think to continue it the way you have done so far you would need to start a 2nd book. Then I would do 97 to 99 for the state quarter change, 00 to 05 for the nickel special, 06 to 09 for the Lincoln, 10 to 20 for the ATB quarters. That would complete book 1, start book 2 with 21 to 25 for the women's quarters, a single year for 26, and start the next one at 27. The youth sports quarters will probably be only two or three years so I think you would complete the 1st page of book 2 before 2030.
With the exception of the Bicentennial, aren't 1964-1998 the same design? Then you run into all the quarter varieties and cent and nickel special issues and this year's 250th coins. Technically, you could do a 2006 and 2010 year set to capture the core nickel and cent redesigns. Really cool idea though, I may steal the idea. I'd be inclined to stop at 1998 myself.
