I just acquired a complete set of pre dec  coins excluding the 1930 penny and a 23 half question is do I break it up to pick out key dates or should I keep it together?

serial

guys can I hear some opinions on these coins?
the 1915 half sov has a "broken " nose that is weird and the 38 crown is covered in die polish marks. is that normal?

I would be interested in the price you paid for the pre decimal collection.

Where the coins in albums or what?

Does the collection include the 1921/22 overprint 3d?

a lot more than the missus would have liked! but about right given it was a bulk lot and most coins are avg circulated condition.
I will pick some out for photos later, trying to figure out how to get coins out. they are in dansco book in clear plastic covered holes that seem sealed shut

The plastic leaves slide out from right to left.!! :angel:

problem is I don't like them. I prefer in slabs or 2x2s so I can handle them so to speak

All my coins are set in Dansco Supreme Albums, the same as the ones you now have empty.   I love them.

can I ask why? what appeal do you see in using the albums?
you should see the way the penny set has toned. the later ones have gone all purple multi coloured like from the edges in. the cardboard cant be good for them

Dansco supreme albums contain sulphur in the cardboard which will affect the coins and tone them.
I've seen many such coins with heavy toning around the edges.
Silver goes black and blue.
These albums are OK for average condition material but I would never store top grade stuff in them.

PM me regarding the albums you have for sale.
Thanks
