I only find junk coins in change in my area. Well done sir. It looks like you cracked open a mint set to plug all those holes. I still need the Denver mint in the last quarter issued z as nd both of the remaining two quarters that are not out yet, neither P and D.
Curious - how do you value those cents when you get them graded? PS - I got my first liberty dime in change today. And this album looks like a good way to keep things together. Probably going to have to buy a mint set since I am not sure I will ever find all the other coins.
Kind of wish it had spots for the pennies and the Native American dollars, but otherwise it's a nice album. Only other complaint is it's wider than it needs to be for only holding 2 pages.
@mark_h how do you value those cents when you get them graded? I checked eBay sales to determine the value.
If you already have the cents . . . there a number of ebay sellers that are selling mint sets with the cents removed. Most of the prices are outrageous, but I got one for around $40. (Not too bad for 18 coins, imho). (I know I will never find the coins -- I use a CC for almost everything)
Well in the past I felt reasonably sure with it when it came to some of the older coins for the grading fees, so most times I used what I graded the coin and the value of that coin at that grade. And few times we(dad and me) got hit with higher fees because a coin graded beyond expectations. But these pennies, as mentioned, are all over the place as far as prices. From what I have read online - get the pennies graded period. Skip nickels and quarters - look at the dimes and halves and if you have clean fields get them graded also. Still have to get me one of these sets.
@dwhiz - my set came in tuesday and my album yesterday. The coins are now in the album. Now this album gave me a idea for my type set. I saw where whitman had a 20/21 century type set album. Most of the coins can come from coins I find in the wild. So now I no longer have to think about buying graded coins that just don't interest me. I will take my spread sheet and just day see whitman album. But I did use one of the dollars from the above set to go in this new album. LOL - and the above gave me another idea. My brother and me put together a whole bunch of jeffersons back in the day. So I got me a whitman album of nickels(no proofs). Moved them from the various folders in the album. I think I need like 10 coins to complete it - all coins were coins we found in change. Well from like 1980 on were from my change, but it still counts.
