$1.99 each at a coin shop. Beautiful coins but very hard to fill! These will take a looong time to complete... Share your hard to fill albums!
The Standing Liberty quarter album will cost some money. I've never known a dealer not to charge extra because the date was readable.
Might I recommend upgrading to a Dansco or a Whitman Deluxe when you get the chance? Regardless, you'll need a good well-paying job to finish any of these albums.
I have one Dansco album. (The one you traded me) and two library of coins albums. I will try to update my other albums soon. I currently don’t have a job but I’ve been flipping items at garage sales, etc. It’s hard to get a 1st job as a 16 year old in CA unless you know someone, haha.
45 years ago, I'm 64, the LCS recommended that I buy the "key dates" first. then if I lost interest and wanted to sell, I would have just a few commons to sell. Worked with Buffalo nickels and Morgan dollars. I only need the 16-D for the Merc book.
What grade ranges are you looking at? If you're shooting for a solid VF set, then sure, these will take a long time to build - but that's mostly because they are long sets. Most of the coins are available. Even the key dates are available, they just cost a lot. For the Indians, a few dates in the 70's are pricey, but 1877 is going to be the big one. 1909S is also going to be pricey. For the liberty nickels, 1885, 1886, and 1912S are going to set you back. And for the Standing Liberty, obviously 16 Type 1 is going to be the show stopper, but 1921 and 1923S are also pricey. Other than the key dates, though, these sets should be achievable with patience.
I am in no rush to fill the albums I just fill up albums with readable dates and mints and then I upgrade as I go along
I think me and my dad bought this half way filled ( not sure ) but I have been working on filling it.
