<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 5320306, member: 4373&quot;]Revived an old thread... this album is now complete! </p><p><br /></p><p>I sold some duplicates off my collection and saved as much as I could for quite a while. The last coin missing is the 1866 / 1867 half dollar. There are at least five half dollar that appeared in the market this year despite the low mintage. I honestly didn&#039;t think I would win this as it&#039;s the most I have paid for a single coin - I just scrapped by.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.omnicoin.com/coins/1054228.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Thankfully this was unslabbed so it could fit in the Dansco album. There were many other examples sold in slabs and significantly higher. </p><p><br /></p><p>Dansco album:</p><p><a href="https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/hong_kong_dansco_type_set" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/hong_kong_dansco_type_set" rel="nofollow">https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/hong_kong_dansco_type_set</a></p><p><br /></p><p>My digital updated Hong Kong Type set album</p><p><a href="https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/hong_kong_type_album_1863_present" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/hong_kong_type_album_1863_present" rel="nofollow">https://issuu.com/gxseries/docs/hong_kong_type_album_1863_present</a></p><p><br /></p><p>This album would have been very doable a decade ago but a couple of coins have definitely escalated in prices. Actually aren&#039;t a lot of classic world Dansco albums becoming quite difficult to complete? </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing that I did find interesting with my Dansco Hong Kong album is that the slot for 1890-1894 50 cents is exactly the same size as the 1866 - 67 half dollar. The latter 50 cents is actually 1mm smaller which rattled around the album. It drove me crazy and I solved it by shoving a thin piece of cardboard - which is evident in the scan. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now that I plugged this hole, I&#039;ll take a step back and revisit what I have in my own collection...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
