ovrundr Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Why would Dansco put an 1895 Proof hole in the middle of a business strike album? They know that this one coin is almost impossible to get. It's a conspiracy I think. Why else would it be here. Just to stop us from completing the album, that's why. None of the other proofs are there. So what the deal. Just thinking out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stujoe Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Gotta be talking about Morgans, I imagine. I certainly wouldn't include it but I am only interested in business strikes for my US collections. I am kind of fanatical that way. But, is it really a Business Strike album or is it rather a Date and Mint mark album? I really don't know because, what you are talking about, is why I don't buy pre-marked albums...I like to set the rules for my own sets and I hate holes.

ovrundr Posted July 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Sorry you are right, I'm talking about the Morgan. I guess if ya think bout it as a date and mint mark album, it would make sense to put the '95 there. Guess I'll always have at least one hole in my Morgan album. Can't win em all.

bobbycoin Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Maybe put a reverse in and put some tape over 1895? -Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Maybe it makes a little more sense than Whitman putting a token hole in a US half cent album. At least with the Dansco Morgan book, it works because the '95 plain was a proof only issue. In the half cent run, 1837 was just the first year of a three year suspension for mint production of the half cent. The redbook also lists the token for 1837 with no listing for 1838&39.

The_Cave_Troll Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 just buy one of those copies if the hole bugs you that much. It will look good and the word copy is usually pretty well hidden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
