I'd never seen these before- I may have to consider using them for my higher quality sets. I've never been a fan of traditional albums for longterm storage.

I have never had a problem with my Dansco albums (nearly 36 years now), but I would not call those sets "higher quality."  My first Ike set is in Dansco, but the newly built "high-end" set is in PCGS slabs. Now this topic has me considering starting a third set in CAPS.  |

And bulky. True. The portion of the album full of coins I posted above is roughly the size of a Dansco, and there are another two rows to fill. Quote:

There's plenty of space on the last page to include the Ike Presidential dollars. But you'd need to use capsules with rings inserts to maintain the correct size, which would mean you couldn't see the edge lettering. |

Now that presents a challenge.
I am still in the proposal stage. Probably not going to happen this year if it does.

Well, I just placed my order of a Morgan dollar Date Set with air tite capsules for my New Orleans mint set that I am working on. I also bought the 1900s & 2000s type set with air tite capsules. I can't wait, I feel like a kid on the night before Christmas! I will keep everyone posted once they come in. |

Okay so my Morgan dollar and Type Set Case Albums came in the other day. All I am going to say is "WOW".... I am very impressed with the quality of the album as well as the ease of installing the coins into the coin pocket. The label hard plastic page with air tite holder gives the coins a very nice presentation. One thing I am thankful for is purchasing the direct fit air-tite holders with the Case Album. It was nice having all the holders available so that I could transfer my coins from my Dansco album to the Case Album at one time. However...don't start transferring the coins in the evening unless you want to stay up all night! I was so excited about the album and how things were going I literally stayed up until 2 am transferring coins. Needless to say, I will be purchasing more of these albums in the future. I think the only test now is how does the album hold up over time and how do the pages hold up as you remove the coins and place back should you upgrade the coin. I guess only time will tell..... |

Great, glad you're happy with your purchase! They really do look nice... would you be able to post a photo? I don't believe I've seen a CAPS album with Morgans. As far as holding up when popping coins in/out, that was one of my small gripes is that I didn't find it particularly easy to get a coin out once it is in. I recall putting an ASE in the wrong socket (probably as a result of being tired from staying up way too late transferring ASEs into it... ) and not only was it difficult to remove, I think I rippled the plastic. Perhaps I just need to learn/adopt a better method. |
