<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1581363, member: 4626&quot;]How thorough you want to be?&nbsp; Want the proofs in there or just the business strikes?&nbsp; Any varieties or just one per each bus. strike date and mintmark?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re just doing the bus. strikes one page ought to be plenty:</p><p><br /></p><p>1979 P, D, S</p><p>1980 P, D, S</p><p>1981 P, D, S (None released for circulation; only showed up in mint sets.)</p><p>1999 P, D (San Francisco didn&#039;t mint any SBAs this year).</p><p><br /></p><p>OK maybe two pages.</p><p><br /></p><p>Want just the proofs?&nbsp; 1979-1981 S, 1999 P (the reason there&#039;s any &#039;99 SBAs is because vending machine companies knew they were putting out a new dollar in 2000 and wanted a coin of the same weight and diameter to calibrate their machines to recognize them.&nbsp; The Sacajawea design hasn&#039;t been finalized yet, so they minted the most recent design they had, the SBA.&nbsp; Authorization to mint them came too late for San Francisco to put them in 1999 proof sets, so Philadelphia minted them instead and sold them as a separate product.&nbsp; Worth about $20 or so these days.&nbsp; As I understand it the reason there&#039;s any 1921 Morgan dollars is for a similar reason, casino owners knew they were bringing the silver dollar back and needed fresh ones to calibrate their machines, and the Peace dollar design wasn&#039;t ready yet.&nbsp; Or so I understand; if this is just an urban legend feel free to correct me lol...).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re going to be thorough and add the proofs and a few major varieties, maybe you want the SBA album.&nbsp; Some combine it with the Sacajaweas too.&nbsp; SBA/Sac./president dollars go 9 to a page in Danscos and most other major albums.&nbsp; (Personally I think they could easily fit 12 to a page but then they couldn&#039;t sell you as many pages lol...)</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate the SBA dollar is a very short series; the only one shorter is the 20 cent piece (only made circulation pieces 2 years!).&nbsp; If you&#039;re not going to be especially thorough a page or two is OK I guess.&nbsp; If you&#039;re a major completionist go for a full album if you want.&nbsp; This is a very overlooked series.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
