Im not able to post any filed pics at the moment due to wifi being down.

I'm impressed with those. Sure wish I had the Cent one but the postage is a killer. They would look great with all my Whitman Albums due to the same color. This weekend a dealer at a con show emailed me that he has an Album for me for the Cents. Not sure what he has but wish it was like yours.

I think the album looks pretty impressive. Definitely on par with the more common Dansco or Whitman albums. The cover page is a nice touch. I also like that the binder rings are mounted to the back of the album rather than the middle fold. If only they could add thumb-holes to help get the slides out they'd be doing everything right.
As for price it looks like a good deal. It appears to come with the case. Considering how much the mass produced albums for USA coins sell for ($15-30 last I knew) I would expect a smaller specialty album to sell for more.
I think the only thing that I would hesitate on are the so many slots for varieties. Even with the USA albums you get lots of griping about which holes they choose to include that maybe they shouldn't have. I don't know if Canadian collectors consider all those varieties standard and expect to have them, but they turn me off. I have lots of Canadian coins but collect by year only. If I were to buy one of those albums I would never be able to finish it!
But aside from that they look like professional, well produced, and affordable albums.

They are nice, but I had a few small problems with them; on the 5c one it had a off ring but I fixed that easily, and one 1c it had a slide in worng from the factory wich causesd a very small tear. Here are a few more pics of the outside  The view from a bookshelf looks nice  And your right they do come with a slip case  If your the type of person who keeps them in zip lock bags for airtight, you will need a giant bag. |

The slipcase is a nice touch. Sorry you had some minor issues, but is sounds like you overcame them. |

They didn't bother me that much, the small rip is on the back of a page. I plan on getting two more books for nickel dollar and new dollars (same book), and 50c. Sometime in the next month or so. Plus mabye a fish scale or two to see how they fit. Was going to post pics but they turned out very bad  And for the comment of the variations. I say most of them are basic, and some of them are just ridiculous "Chough 1936 dot cent". But its hard to to tell how easy its for you to find them in the states, I just happened to walk into my pick up bank and they had 1942 tomabc - 1946 plus a few others for me. If you're talking about 1858-1920s I dont know about them. I should really go to sleep,when I went to put my album back I thought a brown wood mark on my wooden floor was a giant worm or centiped  . So I was just spendt the last five minutes pokeing at my floor with a stick. Edited by xd99xd

Just catching up with this post And I really like how your new albums look Looks like there are a lot of holes to fill, I am sure it will be fun to put together. I am thinking those fish scales will be difficult. For me I might have 10 to 15 of them .. and don't see them for Queen Victoria very often. Keep us up on how your doing |

Well sorry for being absent. my phone was sacrificed... a $150 dollar fix. Well better then $350 like my old phone.
Any way, I finally finished going through my copper pennies and filled up my album with the ones I have, and now ready for pictures.
What would be the best way to take the pictures as I do not have a scaner. should I do the entire page or 2 rows at at time. or any suggestions would be great.

Do whatever you feel most comfortable doing. If you just want to show of the albums, full page shots are fine. If you want to show off the coins then you may need to show only a row or two at a time. I am just happy you got some holes filled. |

I really like those covers. Sure wish Whitman would copy something like that for theirs. But since they are made in China, not much chance. So far no dealers at coin shows have been able to come up with any Albums of any kind for Canadian Cents for me. Folders yes, Albums no and I've got many rolls of the Canadian Cents just waiting for a home in an Album. I may have to eventually just blow the high postage and get one of those.
