I only have a picture of the front online right now, but the coin reverse can be see just like the front. The protective slides were removed for the picture. A page of my Peace dollar Album.  |

So how much does something like that cost? I mean, for something like Jeffersons, it seems like if it's too expensive it could be worth more than the collection, if it's incomplete like mine...
I don't have any pricey wheats either.
However, it looks nice because you get both sides of the coins... plus the protective covers sound nice

Wizrad coins sells some green albums for much less than Dansco album prices. I got several different ones for only 5.00 each. I own some Danscos and really do not see much difference outside of the color; the Danscos can have pages added while these green ones cannot (no big deal to me); my green folders have thumb tabs making it easier to remove the plastic covers - while Dansco albums do not; and the money I saved buying the green ones let me fill a few more holes in the album!

You would be looking at the following Dansco Albums: Jefferson Nickel Without Proof (1938 - 2005) 7113http://www.valleycoin.com/product_i...ducts_id=722$20.97 Jefferson Nickel Without Proof (2006 - Date) 7114http://www.valleycoin.com/product_i...cts_id=31297$16.77 These are the albums without proof only issues. From experience, if you start with folders you will move over to albums such as the ones linked above over a period of time. I have the 2 linked albums to house my circulation finds. The nickels did reside in folders until about a year ago.. |

Don't jump at trying to purchase a Dansco Album. If you go to Google and type in coin Albums, you would find many, many manufacturers. And as already mentioned, Wizard has some for about $5 which is not much more than some Folders.
If you go to the Whitman web site you would find that Whitman is owned by Harris and they manufacturer Albums and Folders under 3 different names. If there are any coin shows or coin stores in your area, you may want to check to see if they have any used ones for sale.

I bought my first Whitman folders when I was a kid in the 60's. They were for Lincoln cents. I still have both of them but the older coins in the first folder eventually found their way into my current album which is pretty old too.
I've upgraded my coins overtime but I'm sure some of the coins I got in circulation before I was ten are still in my album. (That's kind of a nice thought.)
As for the second folder, I never removed the newer coins and they are still in the folder after over 40 years. The coins look fine, the folder doesn't appear to have done any harm to them, although I haven't popped them out to have a look at the other sides.

Can someone post some pics of coins in albums? and give a price range? I'm not sure I know quite what albums you guys are talking about. I researched a lot to know what coins to look for, but now I'm trying to figure out how to display them and go from accumulation-->collection, and I REALLY don't know much.  Note that although the slides are still in place, you can still see the coins easy. And with those plastic slikdes in place, no one can touch your coins with their fingers. No one can sneeze or cough on them. You can see both sides of the coins by simply turning the page. |

Nice display. How much is that album? Albums range in prices excessivelly pending on several things. The manufacturer and amount of pages. Also, availability, new or used too. For example a Whitman, the one I use, for a possibly 10 page for Lincoln Cents would cost about $25 to $30. Yet there are numerous other brands that cost more and/or less. If you go to the Whitman Web site you would see that they are owned by a company called Harris. They manufacture materials unter 3 different names. If you go to the Wizard web site you would see there are Albums available for about $5 and up. Some brands are really expensive such as Intercept Shield and/or Dansco. If you watch hobby shops and/or a coin store, they may have some in that or less price ranges. Even used book stores or the Salvation Army or Goodwill stores may have some used ones. |
