<p>[QUOTE="illini420, post: 1058898, member: 19423"]The NGC Set Registry has a Dansco 7070 set category which allows folks to put in their slabbed coins into to fill the spots required by the Dansco 7070 type set album. The Dansco 7070 album is a type set album, but is definitely not a complete type set album... a type set is basically one example of every type/design of coin produced... So going backwards with the cent you'd have the following coins... a 2010-date Shield Cent, one of each of the 2009 designs, a 1982-2008 zinc memorial cent, a 1959-1982 copper memorial cent, a 1909-1958 wheat cent, a 1943 steel cent, a 1909 VDB wheat cent, a 1864-1909 indian head cent and so on.... and you'd do this for every denomination. Since there are some very rare designs/types (like the small eagle 1796-97 half dollars), many albums only focus on the major changes in design. That also makes the album a more reasonable size too. Both the PCGS and NGC set registries have fairly complete US type sets which cover all of the different types if you're going to go with slabbed coins... if you're going to go with an album, this thread already covers how I feel about cracking high grade/high value coins for albums. I'd only do lower graded coins in an album if I were to start one up again.</p><p> </p><p>Glad my thread got bumped up and that some people can maybe learn from my "fun" <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Have a great Holiday![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
