Do you need any gap fillers

Who doesn't?

So what do you need Jeff? I'd be more than happy to help if I can :)

"Set completion" is not one of the goals I strive for in my collection, so no, I don't "need" them. I keep them when I acquire them, however.

Same here.
I don't keep my coins in albums, so gaps don't jump out at me.

I keep mine in 2x2's so I don't really do sets either (except for my type set) but I might be able to help with gap fillers as mine are circulated but some are in pretty good nick :)

I keep all my coins in albums, Not dansco type but good archival albums.
Whenever I get a new coin I have to do the coin shuffle.
I'm not a big believer in "Gap fillers" I would rather wait until I can afford/find the coins I am after in the condition I want them in, instead of simply filling a gap with an inferior coin

These albums dont have them annoying slots or holes in them :good:

I dont do gap fillers either. Id rather have a hole than something nasty. Plenty of people enjoy collecting very well circulated coins though.

Most of my coins people would class as gap fillers :P
I try to get the pre-decimal coins with some good detail on them, especially the threepences early dates I would like to be able to read Advance Australia on them, but if all I can get is a hockey puck than that will do till I find a better one, the damn things are getting so expensive now days, I have a strict limit of “must keep to my budget”.

Ah I remember when I started collecting I was fortunate enough to buy bulk lots under 50c a coin, that was how I got a good chunk of my collection. Now they start at $3ea for threepences, so sad…sniff.
luckily there are some great people on the forum that have helped me out :)
