<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Darkhorse, post: 848956, member: 3454&quot;]I still have a lot of holes to fill, though.</p><p><br /></p><p>I finally bought myself a Dansco and I filled in a few easy holes at the Ft Worth show. I like these folders - they look great and they&#039;re of tremendous quality. I couple of pretty pennies caught my eye - just a nice red &#039;45 and a shiny &#039;43-s. Sorry for the lame photos.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/random-stuff/holes1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I picked up a nice BU &#039;44 merc to at least fill up one hole on that sole page. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/random-stuff/holes2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I actually picked this one at London Coin Galleries in Mission Viejo. I kind of spent too much than I wanted at the show so I handed in some gold and silver to keep my monthly goals in line. I did see this lowly 1915 vf20 Barber quarter. It has that classic circulated Barber look - I really like this coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/random-stuff/holes3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve had the &#039;45 Walker for years. It&#039;s just a PCGS MS64. I got the commem at the show - a souvenir of Texas. It was an NGC MS64 and I got it for a great price - $5 shy of what Redbook has it for AU-50!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/random-stuff/holes4.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now the modern crap. The Sac is an &#039;09. My state quarter of choice is the Nevada one - I like it even though it&#039;s kinda girlie. Maybe I&#039;ll keep these all business strikes in which case I may replace it with a satin finish Alaska. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://formerairline.com/wp-content/gallery/random-stuff/holes5.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m thinking a &#039;59 mint set will help with a few holes, along with a silver bicentennial set. Maybe an &#039;80 (my birthyear) for the clads, SBA. </p><p><br /></p><p>The commemorative half dollars I want are: Oregon Trail, Bay Bridge, and Connecticut. As for the modern dollar - not sure. Maybe I&#039;ll reverse-up the Franklin commem from a couple of years ago with the Continental dollar on it. That or the Smithsonian from &#039;96(?). </p><p><br /></p><p>Aside from that I&#039;ll have to paw through dealer cases at shows. I spent a lot of time at Dick Osburn&#039;s booth but I was pretty picky with the half dollars so I didn&#039;t get anything. They were cool with me though.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I first started collecting I had some real crappy PVC laden folders for Canadian cents. Then eventually I had a Whitman folder for silver dollars and Canadian Large Cents. Those are all long gone now but I remember the excitement of filling the holes with a new coin. I got a familiar sense of that when starting this set. It&#039;ll be nothing fancy, it&#039;ll take a while to fill in, but it&#039;s fun.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
