<p>[QUOTE=&quot;samclemens3991, post: 26620069, member: 82181&quot;]I love when Kismet makes things happen.&nbsp; Back in October of 25 I mentioned to a friend that I was embarking on a new collecting interest and would have to order a new blank journal so I could prepare for new coins.&nbsp; (I assume most collectors are like me and get great satisfaction out of recording their coins).</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Now I have a friend who makes handmade journals as a hobby.&nbsp; I didn&#039;t know it but they were making one for me.&nbsp; I kid you not when I tell you the trees on our property know more about my coins then they do.&nbsp; all the same, the journal they made me has 75 pages.&nbsp; The collection I am starting is of Barber coins.&nbsp; It just so happens there are 75 collectible dates.&nbsp; KISMET!</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; One other pet peeve I have is how all standard coin journals, ledgers etc. are made.&nbsp; You would think that people 100 years ago only used Dimes, or Quarters or some such distinction and so every denomination is segregated.&nbsp; That is not how coins were used or how I collect.&nbsp; I will be looking at all 3 denominations.&nbsp; Dimes for many reasons will dominate but I always prefer to know both what is not in my collection and what is.&nbsp; therefore my journal will have a space for each issue and each denomination.&nbsp; With any luck 5 years from now there will be 50 or 60 entrys.&nbsp; For now, 4 will have to do.&nbsp; Hope some of my pictures turn out.&nbsp; James</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1697063[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
