It really depends. For those series for which I have the corresponding albums (i.e. Swiss, Japan, Britain, etc.), I do try to fill in the holes...
Personally, I'd say stick with the Dansco Supreme Albums (the ones with slides). I use them for my world coin type sets (Cuba, Panama, New Guinea,...
On the 1807, I'd say go for it! On the 1806, I fear that the excessive wear on the left wing of the eagle might be what's preventing it from...
A while back, I acquired a holed example of the United Provinces of Rio de La Plata (8 Reales) for something like $20. Not the prettiest example,...
I use the Whitman Philippine Type Set album for my collection in this series; took me a while to find specimens of the 1936 pesos that were cheap...
I'd say AU-50.
I would say VF-35 for the 1908-S and either F-15 details or VF-20 details on the 1859.
Five years? Yikes...
I've been checking Ebay for months now, to no avail. I think I saw one for sale two years ago; still kicking myself now for not jumping at the...
Hi all, I've been looking for this album (not the folder) for some time. Any advice on where to search? I seem to be at a bit of a dead end, to...
Finally located one! (Stumbled across an old reddit posting from years ago and turns out the seller still had it.)

Depends on how far you want to go. I believe that the following countries made coins that were in accordance with the LMU 20 franc standard:...
I've had a few experiences like this: 35 Barber dimes for $80 ish, including a 1913-S in decent shape that was worth around $20 on its own....
Mexican numismatic history really is a fascinating subject. Consider going for one of the 1866 pesos from the French-imposed empire period.
Do you also collect the Nicholas II gold coins?
Personally, I would recommend the Italy 1911 50 Lire. Superb design and often available for not too much over the melt value.
Check out the full list in the back of the old Dansco albums. It lists a lot of countries you wouldn't expect, like Fiii, Hong Kong, etc. There...
I love that 1947 2 franc coin; I used it once with my History students to have them analyze the economic impact of WW II on France.
Thank you all! I've been lurking on Ebay for a while now and have managed to secure a number of the other albums (Guatemala, Nicaragua, Canada,...
