I got my first CAPS Album from a very generous CCF member. I'm not sure if they want their name mentioned so I will let them chime in if they so desire. But I am very appreciative of them for doing this. It lets me test them out, It's nice to actually have one in hand to see it in person. I didn't realize the insert that the labeling goes on is just stuck on the backside of the page. For some reason from the pictures they always looked like they were sandwiched in the page. Now I'll have to think about how I want to arrange my coins or possibly label them myself somehow. I definitely need to adjust my bookcase to fit it

Really nice of that CCF member.
However, I do like the look of the 2x2 flips you are using "temporarily" now...they look very professional.
I currently have one Caps Album for my Innovation Dollars, I feel these albums are more of a "permanent" coin storage solution. Where as with Danscos' you can easily upgrade each coin with more ease.

got to agree with you there...I feel their size is the biggest negative about those albums.

Looking forward to seeing updates from you along the way.

Once you have figured out how best to arrange your coins, be sure to post here the "after" photo!

That's why I'm going to be using them for Uncirculated and Proof coins...the ones I wouldn't be upgrading. My circulated Buffalo nickels and Mercury dimes are in Dansco's. I just have a fear of putting a Proof coin in a Dansco and that it would tone. I know some say theirs have not but I have read other people's have. Not sure the reason, either the way their were stored or just individuals climate of where they live

Thank you, only drawback on those is you can't see the other side of the coin, but it was the cheaper option and reusable. Here is a pic for anyone wondering....

Been thinking on what I want to put in there, also have some ideas on temporary labeling. Actually lost some sleep just thinking about it
