Intercept shield You're aware about the way-too-small hole sizes for some coins in the Type Set album, right?  But I have to agree partly, because the overall quality of them seem good.  |

I understand the reasoning for the vast majority using Dansco.
There is another thing I love about Lighthouse though is that they have album pages for coins in capsules which I use for my European Union 2 Euro coin collection. All those coins are Brilliant Uncirculated so I put each of them in their own capsule and then into the album pages. So far this is the only company that I know of that has these pages or at least ones as stylish and functional.

I was a Whitman Folder guy for years. When I found CCF and learned albums were better, I got a Whitman album to try it. The coin variations Whitman included or excluded didn't really fit with my collection, but the Dansco albums did. I only have Dansco now |

I fall under the "other" category. I make my own coin albums, if you will, by putting archival BCW coin pages in a large spiral binder. I have a binder for each of my two favorite types of coins; Lincoln cents, and nickels. The coins in these two sets, which are all in 2x2s, go in the pages in date order, and Voila! I have a custom made album that doesn't include slots for ultra rare and expensive varieties.  The coin pages are aesthetically pleasing enough for me, although I couldn't care less about what type of album my coins are stored in. All that I really care about is having the coins themselves!  |

I use Gardmaster for Canadian coins. The sheet that goes behind each sleeve is easy to customize in a Word document to change dates.

I am with trout1105, and for very good reason.
I will have to admit, he showed me his reasons why.
For permanent storage, never use albums made of PVC.
I also do not like albums where a clear slide panel slides directly over the face of a coin. Even particles of cardboard can get themselves between the face of the coin and the slide panel, thus introducing the possibility of scratching the coin.

Dansco is #1 for me, although it's really up to the individual's personal preference. What looks nice?
Library of Coins albums are also neat, if you can find a nicer one, they are hard to find...

Dansco for me. Haven't tried anything else. I just like them and have never had a reason to try something else. I also use them for my 2x2 coins.

I removed ALL my sets from various Dansco, Whitman and other albums and put them into 2x2's housed in archival quality pages, albums. I hope you got PVC-free 2x2's. Fortunately these days most are. Quote:I voted for Dansco, but they are what I have. But I have never forgiven them for including a slot for the 22 'Plain' Lincoln Cent. NOT a regular issue, but a bad strike. Wrong. They WERE a regular issue struck by the Mint from dies that were HIGHLY polished at the Mint because of a die clash. I quote: " A pair of dies that were creating 1922 D's clashed
together. The clash resulted in damage to both the obverse and reverse die. The reverse die was badly
damaged, and replaced with a newer less worn die. The obverse die was reworked by a mint employee who
erased all traces of the D mintmark while repairing and polishing the die. The result is a worn obverse die with no
trace of a mintmark and a strong reverse die. " |
