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.

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?

James- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

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

Also, how many pages in the Seated Dimes album? And in the Half Cent
album? Not counting the covers, that is.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer all these questions.
LOC albums were a big part of my early years of collecting. I used
to visit a coin shop that had the whole set sitting up on a high
shelf.

3 for the Seated Dime and 2 for the early large cent album. Like I
said these could be remakes or something like that.

Or something like that. *Of course, the complete set of Seated Dimes calls
for 120+ coins, on at least four pages, and now you speak of the miracle of
a half cent album morphing into a large cent album. *RCC never ceases to
bring forth new wonders. *What hath God wrought?

And now, sgt23, it's time for you to come clean.

Perhaps we are at last free from the puerile musings of our resident
village idiot, sgt23.

Never RWF, I was just busy today. Unlike you I tend to leave the
computer ever once in a while.

Sorry to say man, but with nearly every post, you seem to prove RF
right. *Are you one of those people who gets off just seeing your
words on a screen in a public forum or something?

FYI, just in case you think otherwise, there aren't nearly as many
people reading your words as you might think. *You WILL get called out
here by some very knowledgable people if you try to BS your way
through things.

It's mainly just the contributors to this forum who are reading this
NG, not - as the old "Prodigy" ISP used to phrase it, something to the
effect of - "are you sure you want to post, there are millions who
could be reading your words" or some such drivel.

You should stick with either questions about the topic at hand, or
with what you know, which from all indications appears to be very
little. *You would at least come across as merely a clueless collector
who wants to learn a thing or two about coin collecting that way,
instead of a clueless nimrod.

Just food for thought.

I post very little compaired to most of the people in this forum. I'd
bet my life on it I know more about numismatics than sorry ass does!
