Good luck on replacing those air-filled holes <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I also very much agree with bobbeth87 on the selection of the 7070 album. I too was looking for a slot for 40% silver Kennedy's and couldn't find one. Maybe the composition change from 90% to 40% was not enough to constitute a different type. I believe there IS only <u>one</u> 20 cent piece however. I also notice that sometimes certain types seem to be omitted due to their scarcity or value. For example there looks to be 3 more varieties of Quarter Dollars before the first slot for the Capped Bust Quarter of 1831.
