PCGS holder and issues surrounding the potential redesign of U.S. Currency.
After that, Charles and Chris break down everything you need to know about completing various
DANSCO albums, culminating with the DANSCO 7070 coin album.
The DANSCO 7070, also known as the United States Type album, collects one example of most major types of U.S. coins struck from 1800 onward.

R.S. Yeoman.
Yeoman’s ideas transformed the hobby from an academic pursuit to one with broad mainstream appeal. Whereas most numismatic books published before 1950 were printed in limited numbers, Yeoman’s Red Book was an instant success and has gone on to sell tens of millions of copies and is updated annually. This year, we will see the publication of its 75th edition.
Bressett worked with R.S. Yeoman and probably knew him better than anyone in the industry and Charles asks him to share his insights into Yeoman’s vision for the hobby and where Yeoman fits amongst the giants of 20-century numismatics.
