It is a tough call ..

Dansco albums are my favorite.

Some of the others, are not bad. I do have at least one
Littleton album, a Susan B. Anthony album. I would say
the quality is not bad. But would agree with others, that
they do not sit on the shelf as well as Dansco.

Last October I purchased a Intercept Shield type album,
and posted it and my Dansco .. just to show others the
differences,

If you have pictures of the Littleton type album, I
would like to see them.

From the photos you posted of the pages, the Littleton album pretty much has exactly the same coins as the Dansco album. For the price it's hard to beat.

The album looks like it is in good shape.
Sounds like it was a good price.


Now the fun part is filling those empty holes.

I agree.

Stick with it. I think it will be okay.

Sorry if I am intruding here, but what about capital coin holders? I put together a decent 20th Century type set about 9 years ago and put the coins in a capital coin display case. I always assumed the coins were safe in it. Am I wrong?

Can someone post a picture of their completed or partially completed album just to see how it will look when more holes will be filled.

They are not the prettiest, but there is a link to my Dansco 7070 photos in my signature.

Something I have always wanted to do is have a complete type set on no-no site counterfeits. Since they use the same dies but with different dates, the diagnostic marks are usually universal.

I have used the LCA14 Littleton Type album, which appears to be the one you have. I liked it, and it did its job of protecting and displaying my coins quite well. Having said that, I do not like the binder clips, it makes the album bulky, and turning pages difficult. I have been looking for a Dansco 7070 to match the rest of my albums. I recently found one on ebay for $13, I bought it immediately.
I would say that the Littleton Album is perfectly fine, and I wouldn't waste $70+ on the Dansco Album which is just slightly better in my opinion. If you can find a good deal however, I would pick it up.
