They seem pretty nice and an alternative to people who want to store high grade coins in an album. They, interestingly enough, given my venture recently in to Liberty and Shield nickels, have an album specifically for Shield and Liberty nickels together. That's pretty sweet IMO. That said, I don't know how I'd feel about utilizing one of their albums. You buy the album and pages and then all the air tite capsules separately I guess? Not sure. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Report this Post to the Staff

Pmint1 Valued Member United States 465 Posts	Posted 01/22/2026 10:40 pm I used them for my morgan and Peace dollars and they are really nice. I am currently pulling them out because I like to display my coins together and a fair percentage of mine are in certified slabs. I am transitioning to all "slab" holders on slab pages for : ring binders. Loved the Caps albums though. Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94728 Posts	Posted 01/23/2026 9:21 pm I don't have any - they are far too thick, I would have to build an extension to fit them if my cons were in Caps albums. Neat idea, but - no. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember.

Boba Debt Pillar of the Community United States 736 Posts	Posted 01/25/2026 1:11 pm I love them but I'm not a typical collector I only collect what I like which is mostly Commemorative or Type Coins I use 6 CAPS Binders for the bulk of my collection but I also have an Intercept Shield Type Collection Album for my circulated Type Collection and a small collection NGC PF-69 Graded coins Parts of my collection contain coins of multiple denominations which isn't addressed by normal binder pages One CAPS Binder with 6 A pages has all of my silver proof Quarters which include the Statehood, America the Beautiful, American Women sets with room for the Youth Sports series which I might not collect PROS: • You can always rearrange your collection as it grows • You can use H of T capsules with Black Rings to display multiple coin denominations on one page • It is easy to remove a capsule if you want to rearrange your collection • If the Mint stops producing a specific series of coin you're not stuck with unfilled holes • There are a large variety of printed pages you can order when you buy the pages or albums • If you have an odd collection you can create custom labeled album pages on the Valley Coin Website for $6.95 each • OR if you have a cricket and a printer, it is possible to create custom labeled Album pages at home • The Pages will fit normal binders so you are not limited to the CAPS binders • Or you could store the pages in a box ala Index Card Style CONS • The binders are big • If you have a large collection it might feel expensive since you need a Air-Tite Capsule for each coin Here are some example of my pages and a printed H page that I'm going to create to hold all of my Sesquicentennial, Bicentennial and Semiquincentennial coins Report this Post to the Staff
bzookaj Pillar of the Community United States 587 Posts	Posted 01/25/2026 4:53 pm CAPS albums are best for coins with edge lettering, like the Native American or Innovation dollars. The coins are set into pockets, so you can see the lettering while the coins are still in the book. I can take them out, sure, but sometimes I don't want to just to see. Report this Post to the Staff
