Which Folders To Use For Various World Bullion?

The Lighthouse pages arrived this morning. Their design is very much like the ones for the slabs -- clamshell opening, snap shut. The binder is the "Giant Grande", and it holds 8 of these pages (total 160 rounds, 20 per page) comfortably. This also means it can get quite heavy. The stiff plastic pages do bend a bit from the weight but they're not going to tear.

The capsules go into the holes very easily -- they're not a snug fit at all like in the cardboard album I posted earlier. They may shift around a little as you're flipping pages but they're unlikely to rotate. This also makes it easier to move them around if you want to insert a new one into the run.

Because the pages are clear plastic, the pieces are also a little harder to see/appreciate, but for larger sets it can be nicer to get them all on one page. If you have a larger collection, this seems a good way to view/display them. For quality of the pages, I still kinda like the smaller one better, but it's just not big enough. I filled up two of them pretty quickly. The Lighthouse album wins for the design and sturdiness of the album itself. The pages are a little flimsy but the better choice for a collection large enough to require something of this size.

Not a bad choice.

I agree. It is a nice looking setup.

I remember that. A very nice custom album.

Nice! I stumbled across a post this morning from several years ago about a guy who got a custom Australia Kookaburra folder done. That seems to be the best way to go if all your other folders are Danscos.

I really like how the black makes the silver pop! That's something I'm missing in my more-or-less transparent capsule pages, and I'm too lazy to make any inserts.

Here are the CAPS album pages if you want to collect a variety of bullion coins:

Looking good.
