Does Anyone Know Where To Buy This Type Of Album?

Those look kind of like Lighthouse Albums, a google search should put you on the right track.

Glad to be of help, I worked at a coin shop when I was 15 and we sold their stamp albums, I think that's where I remembered them from, (man that was a long time ago, another life it seems now that I'm pushing 50).

Expensive yes, but Lighthouse makes super quality archival products, many museums use their products because of that. What about using the euro holders with Airtight holder rings for US coins? The should still be close enough to fit, not hard to figure out since even US coins are measured in mm. Just a thought.

Sounds like you invented the Capital plastic display. You can buy plastic screws from them, instead of metal screws on the corners.

The advantage to theirs is the kind of plastic they use, and tapering the holes so the reverse is smaller than the obverse.

That looks pretty cool Earle. Nice job.

What's the 36th coin, Bugs?

I would like pages like that! I have some lighthouse slab pages that look like that, though obviously they hold slabs and not airtites. They're pretty simple, just vacuum formed plastic, where you can drop in the slabs, snap down the cover and stick them in a binder.

@Bryan - thanks for the link. After seeing TheNickelGyy's setup on another thread though, I might just go with that. He sticks his coins in airtites and then puts them in 2X2-holding 3-hole punched pages. A lot less expensive than trying to get the encaps from Europe. I admit I'd love to see a US company take off with this idea and make them for all coins though.

Thanks for the info wvparadox. I think these may be the ones jdfindring once posted pics of what he used for his ASEs. He once posted a pic of them:

I think they work well, but admit I do not like the look of the "strap" that holds the capsule in. In fact it was the Eagle albums that got me to thinking about trying to see if anyone made pages with the bottom of the capsules already built in (all one would need do is insert the coin and snap the top on).

Tapping is easy and done by hand. Countersinking is easy with a drill press (can be done carefully by hand). I suggest you go to a Mom and Pop hardware store, give then an idea of what you want to do, and ask their help. The fun part is planning and drawing the layout. Also make sure the spade drill bit you use is sharp.

I have been thinking of making more of these cases for other sets. I already did one for Canadian George V nickels - but it was a rush job so I am not happy with it. But I had some scrap plexiglass laying around so decided to do it.
