Default Vintage LOC Albums sell on eBay

Yikes, look what a couple of Library of Coins albums sold for this
afternoon:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=130285490845

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=130285491810

I'm going to guess that the second one has at least one opening for a
Gobrecht dollar, judging from its title.

Yes, I know you don't see these very often.

Those two particular albums are quite scarce, so much so that I
haven't offered a single example of either title on eBay in the
twelvish years I've been selling LoC and other albums there. Any of
the LoC albums numbered above Volume 36 are quite hard to find.

I've been lucky enough to have offered ONE EACH of volumes 39 (General
Large Cent Size), 41 (Early Dimes 1796 - 1891), 45 (Early Half Dollars
1794 - 1836), 48 (General Half Dollar Size), 52 (Silver Coins of the
World) and 53 (All-Purpose Coin Album), all of which brought Very
Healthy Prices ...

I know, I am the guy who bought that vol. 39 from you some time ago. 8)
It's in use, by the way.

I wonder what the press run of those 37+ titles actually was. Judging from
their scarcity I'd have to guess 200 or fewer, and it's hard to imagine
profitability considering the cost of a complete jig-up. I'm sure you're
aware of the later editions of the LOC albums for type sets. The 1969
edition has a green cover for vol. 33 and a blue cover for vol. 34. Several
changes were made over the original metallic covered albums. The commems
and Gobrecht dollar were taken out and all three 3c silver varieties were
included, along with the clad coins and a couple of Kennedy halves. But
I've not ever seen the 1964 edition, so I can't say whether it was a repeat
of the 1959 or more like the 1969.

Other than just having the early dollar album as a curiosity or to fill out
a set of LOC, I wonder if the new owner has a Gobrecht dollar to put in it.
Or maybe it was David Lange preparing to write another book.

Hey James, I found five others like this at a thrift store a few years
back. Here is what I found at this thrift store. Morgan dollars,
Seated Dimes, Indian Head Pennys, Barber Quarters, and a Half Cent
album. Would any of these bring a premium?


Depending on condition, any LOC album is collectible, but in that group, the
Seated Dimes and Half Cents are very hard to find. Now, you're sure they
are Library of Coins with the acetate slides that allow you to see both
sides of the coins, and not the blue Whitman albums, yes? The reason I ask
is that the LOC album for Seated Dimes is actually not called that, but
rather is one of a two-volume set titled Early Dimes.

You can see the coin on both sides but, I'm going on what the books
look like on the out side and whats on the picture on eBay. Yes they
are all 5 by LOC. Is it possible that they could be only copies? The
nice part so far though Is I found a 1911-S barber dime stuck between
two coin section in the barber dime book.

Sorry there were a few whitman folders in the box I bought, the coin
was in one of them. I was tired last night when typing the message and
didn't think what I was saying. Oh and about the condition, the seated
dime and half cent folders have damnage on the outside of the album.
Mostly around blinding of the albums. The other 3 are almost in
perfect condition.

haven't offered a single example of either title on eBay in the
twelvish years I've been selling LoC and other albums there. Any
of the LoC albums numbered above Volume 36 are quite hard to
find.


I've been lucky enough to have offered ONE EACH of volumes 39
(General Large Cent Size), 41 (Early Dimes 1796 - 1891), 45
(Early Half Dollars 1794 - 1836), 48 (General Half Dollar
Size), 52 (Silver Coins of the World) and 53 (All-Purpose Coin
Album), all of which brought Very Healthy Prices ...


I know, I am the guy who bought that vol. 39 from you some time
ago. 8) It's in use, by the way.


I wonder what the press run of those 37+ titles actually was.
Judging from their scarcity I'd have to guess 200 or fewer, and
it's hard to imagine profitability considering the cost of a
complete jig-up. I'm sure you're aware of the later editions of
the LOC albums for type sets. The 1969 edition has a green cover
for vol. 33 and a blue cover for vol. 34. Several changes were
made over the original metallic covered albums. The commems and
Gobrecht dollar were taken out and all three 3c silver varieties
were included, along with the clad coins and a couple of Kennedy
halves. But I've not ever seen the 1964 edition, so I can't say
whether it was a repeat of the 1959 or more like the 1969.


Other than just having the early dollar album as a curiosity or
to fill out a set of LOC, I wonder if the new owner has a
Gobrecht dollar to put in it. Or maybe it was David Lange
preparing to write another book.

Hey James, I found five others like this at a thrift store a few
years back. Here is what I found at this thrift store. Morgan
dollars, Seated Dimes, Indian Head Pennys, Barber Quarters, and a
Half Cent album. Would any of these bring a premium?


Depending on condition, any LOC album is collectible, but in that
group, the Seated Dimes and Half Cents are very hard to find. Now,
you're sure they are Library of Coins with the acetate slides that
allow you to see both sides of the coins, and not the blue Whitman
albums, yes? The reason I ask is that the LOC album for Seated
Dimes is actually not called that, but rather is one of a
two-volume set titled Early Dimes.

You can see the coin on both sides but, I'm going on what the books
look like on the out side and whats on the picture on eBay. Yes they
are all 5 by LOC. Is it possible that they could be only copies? The
nice part so far though Is I found a 1911-S barber dime stuck
between two coin section in the barber dime book.


Lucky you! You didn't mention the Barber Dimes album in your OP. Or
is that what you meant when you said Seated Dimes? How about the
Half Cent album? How nice is that?

Sorry there were a few whitman folders in the box I bought, the coin
was in one of them. I was tired last night when typing the message and
didn't think what I was saying. Oh and about the condition, the seated
dime and half cent folders have damnage on the outside of the album.
Mostly around blinding of the albums. The other 3 are almost in
perfect condition.


What are the volume numbers of the Seated Dimes and the Half Cents?

Volume 8 on the seated Dime and I can't read the numbers on the Half
Cent album.
