Does any one have experience with the vista canada albums, I'mplanning on getting them for 1c and 5c. How long do they last and do they damage coins.
Thanks

IF really that small amount, I suspect those are really Folders and not Albums. A Folder is just what it sounds like. A Folder for coins. An Album is similar except pages are thicker and have slides that come out to put the coins in. In a Folder you can not see the back of the coins. In an Album you get to see both sides.

Guess I thought they were selling them for that. Saw the add and yes those are similar to Whitman Classic Albums. And for about $25 a bit high. However, I've been searching for Canadian Albums for the Cent so I might have to check this place out. Looks decent and pricing is a bit on the high side but similar to Dansco, Littleton, Whitman, etc. in prices.
WOW. Just went back and looked at their shipping charges. If I wanted to buy one Cent Album it would cost me about $25 and another $30 for postage. Think I'll make my own.

You got to hate shiping charges, I will most likely try one unless anyone steers me away.
Thanks

Those really look impressive. Wish they were for the Cent. |

Really looks nice. However, as with other places the shipping charges are tuff. And for the one I want, it's $34.95 + $19.95 for shipping. AND it is stated this is in Canadian Currency so I have no idea how much that would be in USA money. Maybe I'm a bit cheap but for that amount, I'll either keep them in a plastic roll or just keep on looking. |

I havent forgot about this yet, its taking a bit longer to ship then I thought it would have. I just got the order confirmation on monday due to a error in the system. I estimate they will be here by next Monday.
And a quick question does acetone soaking work with copper pennies, I tryied soaking a State park copper token that had gum on it and it kinda starting to go green. I just want to make sure that wont happen to my pennies.
Thanks

Acetone is fine for copper.
Perhaps the acetone removed the gum and revealed some verdigris, which acetone will not remove.
