Silver Dollar Album?

I like using the Whitman folders. For the silver dollar set they have two, one that goes from 35-52 and the other from 53-67. It includes all the major varieties. The downside is that it also includes a spot for a 52 ARN and a 1967 Small Beads Reverse, both of which I have been unable to find. It also includes a spot for the 66' small beads which is an expensive hole to fill. The upside is they only cost around $4 CAD and if you buy from Amazon you can get free shipping if you have a student account (or know someone who is a student) or if your order total is over $25 (not too hard to do since Amazon sells pretty much everything).

I've never seen a coin album where you couldn't see the other side of the coin by turning the page

Ah I see

I bit the bullet and bought the fancy stackable mahogany trays/box with the square 2x2 lighthouse hard plastic slabs for my complete silver $ collection....minus the 1911, of course ;). It was expensive and not my ideal solution since I prefer the book/folder style approach, except I didn't like/trust any of the products that I could find. In the end, I wanted to create a nice display for my collection that I could enjoy and the mahogany solution was the only thing I could see myself using.

In addition to displaying/storing your Silver Dollars, what else is important to you?

When I passed the point of no return in regard to coin collecting, my priorities were -
- the ability to clearly label my collection, not only the year but the variety.
- a need to conveniently cross-reference my coins to an inventory list in order to differentiate between my inheritated collection and the base cost of new additions so that in the future, for both valuation or selling purposes, I can determine either gains or losses.
- long term safe storage but that's still convenient to view whenever I want. No point collecting anything that's a bother to view.

In the end, I decided chose Grand Classic 3-Ring Binder from Canada Post at $29.95 each. They come in 3 different colours so I'm able to colour code what's in each binder. Other places sell the same, but at a much higher cost. I store my coins in 2x2s, in plastic pages 20 to a page and double face the pages - I can see 40 "heads or tails" at the same time. The Binder comes with a cover, so if I accidentally hold it upside down, the 2x2 holders can't fall out. Because the binder is a standard 3-Ring size, it's able to also contain my inventory list and I can stick small cross-reference labels onto each 2x2 to identify the origin of each particular coin, plus label the year and variety. This works for me and I'm happy with my choice.

Skip79: Your mention of a Coin Room has my eyes green with envy!

Also the thought has occurred to me several times that if storage/display/record keeping of a coin collection could be seen as an attractive, enjoyable and appealing feature, there'd be huge opportunity to expand public interest in the hobby. Some day I think some of us here should create a Coin Collecting Starter Kit and see how it sells on ebay! Haha!

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I ordered a Whitman album from chief coin. I'll post pics of it when it arrives.
