only because i can't find anything better, i've decided to replace all my folders with dansco albums..... i like littleton best but i dont like how they'll have 3" binders for 2 pages of SBA's or whatever...

anyway, i've got a couple (i've got this thing where i'll buy em off ebay for less than $10) i'd like to know about the lincolns albums...

how far does a new one go to.... i've seen 73, 85, 93, whatever... what are the NEW ones running up to...? and why don't those proofs include the 50's and pre 36 proofs...

so yeah i'm going with dansco albums only because i cant find one better your thoughts.....? i'm tinkering with the idea of going with those grey US mint albums, but... ehhhhh

I guess the best one that I have seen is Dansco "like" album, where there are no dates on it, so you are free to label it anyway you wish. Basically "leaflets" with holes in it, just like a Dansco except that it's totally unlabelled, so you are free to label it anyway you wish.


Perhaps something like this? Joels Coins leaflet list

I believe that they sell extra pages so even an older Lincoln album can be updated.

they do.. but i don't want any blank pages

ah whateva i'll figure it out



sknaht

I have a lincoln album from Dansco, including S-mint proofs, and mine goes through 2007-S. I can't recall if it came like that or if I bought the last page as an update for 1996-2007.

I could never get my head around this albums business.

neither could i. i'm not wild about having the coins loose, not excited about 2x2's (cardboard or plastic), ...

i'd like for the coins to suspend themselves in mid-air (in an inert environment, of course). magically, this arrangement should take up zero cubic feet, yet it should look fabulous.

There's always one...


I meant don't such albums create toning? I get very worried about coins toning.

I think we need a modified version of Dansco album, i.e. empty leaflets with coin capsules Probably a lot more expensive but a lot easier to replace just ONE pocket if it screwed up

Just my random thoughts... hehehe.

hmm, interesting idea, but you would require might thick pages...

You'd be better using the clear plastic pages if using airtites. We use those in the UK, or rather UK collectors are accustomed to using them, albeit that i don't touch them with a barge pole. It was a method i used until i had the PVC outbreak about 5 years ago. I abandoned all forms of albums after that debacle.

Aren't there albums now made with intercept shield material that will inhibit toning?

Yes there are.

Gah, I was hoping for an internation version or some blank pages. :/
