Whitman Coin Albums

IMO, Dansco albums are better quality than Whitman albums.

I am not saying Whitman albums are bad, I just think Dansco
are better.

I have tried Whitman, Intercept Shield and Littleton albums.
Everytime I end up switching and buying the Dansco.

I have never seen a slip cover for a Whitman album.

Nice rundown Carl.

I prefer H.E. Harris. They are really nice. Here's a link.

Good list, carl!

I have both Whitmans and Danscos. I like the blue of the Whitmans and the typeface they use better than the Danscos, but they're both fine albums.

Sort of forgot about the gallon size Zip Lock bags. I too use those for almost all my Albums. For special Albums, like my #1 Mercury dime Album, a Whitman, I double the Zip Lock bags just to make sure.
In addition to my previous statements:
11. Whitman makes and sells press on number/letter sheets. IF you use a page with nothing on it, you can use those to make your own info.
12. Go to the Whitman web site and request a catalog. There you can see all the Albums, Folders, flips, books, etc. that they publish.
13. Dansco Albums are taller than either Whitman, Harris, USMint or Littleton. Pending the size of shelves in a book case, may make a difference.
14. Many Whitman Albums are big enough to add numerous additional pages. I do that with many of mine making a two Album, Album. For example Indian Head cents #1 and #2 in the same Album. Easy to make using their blank pages and those press on letters/numbers.
15. Availability of any of those mentioned here may well depend on the stores near you or the coin shows you go to. Even some on line dealers have some but not all.
16. Additional or replacement slides are really something to acquire in any brand.

Zip Lock also makes a two gallon size. Most Danscos will not fit in the one gallon size, at least not with the slipcover included.

It would. although you might be able to get the Whitmans in a one gallon bag. They are just a little bit smaller than the Danscos which almost fit into the one gallon ones but not quite.

What I do is put the album in the smallest bag that it will fit into, put a desiccant pack in the bag and then press all the air out of it. Then I put it in the safe and have two desiccant packs in the safe. I use the packs with indicators on them so I can tell when they need to be recharged.

The packs in the bags last pretty long but the ones in the safe need to be recharged more often. As others have said, the safe is not completely air tight so you are fighting a losing battle, but I try anyway!

After about 5 recharges, I throw out the packs and buy new.

I use the one gallon size for all my Whitman Albums. For ones with really great coins I use a double Zip Lock bag. By that I mean I put the Album in a Zip Lock bag, fold over the excess and then put that end in a second Zip Lock bag. I use the one gallon sizes for all my Whitman Albums. Even the Lincoln Cent ones with 10 pages.
I never use those moisture Moisture packets since very little moisture can get in and I open them so often, would not be worth the trouble. So far in many, many years, never had a thing go wrong.
