<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2386941, member: 4373&quot;]To be honest - WOW!!! Some of the coins in the album are just not obtainable unless you decide to sell your house. For instance, the 1888 1 warn, 1893 1 whan, the Russo-Korean coinage all are at least four - five figure coins!!! What&#039;s puzzling is that the 1909 5 chon is not in the album. Perhaps back then other coins were more common. I would like to have seen what 5 fun coins are in the albums. Would be interesting to see if they have included all varieties. </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s actually possible to do a digital coin album like the Korean Empire coinage I have designed a while back: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/korea_year_type_album" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/korea_year_type_album" rel="nofollow">https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/korea_year_type_album</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I am in the middle of overhauling the designing process to make it more similar to a Dansco type like this one shown: </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/japan_type_set_1870_current" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/japan_type_set_1870_current" rel="nofollow">https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/japan_type_set_1870_current</a></p><p><br /></p><p>From my observation, most of the world coin albums as shown were produced until 1970s and for some reason stopped right there. Perhaps the market slowed down drastically and it was no longer profitable to make such albums.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ultimately anything can be done but I just reckon the market isn&#039;t big enough. Agreed, while some albums are sold at some crazy figures - the question is, what are the average Joe willing to pay for such albums? I am certain most are not willing to pay more than 50+ USD unless it&#039;s a hard to come by album where I suspect 100 - 200 USD will be the tops. From a business point of view, unless you have a large market to supply, this can be very, very challenging. </p><p><br /></p><p>Otherwise this can be a kickstarter project - I can do the design. Just do not know any manufacture that can do this as a cost effective manner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
