Quote: mestephil, why square? So that they stack better or nest more tightly in a storage container? Yes for storage, and that they don't roll all over the place. I like the durable material better than I've seen in the round tubes so far better.

I've searched all over, and I cannot even find a reference for 28 mm tubes of any type.

Thanks, Dearborn. I came up zip, too. Hard to believe nothing exists for Canadian collectors.

I did a search of Canadian larger coins. here is what I found: 26.72mm - (Loonie 1987-1989) 29.72mm (50 cent) 28mm 2 dollars (Toonie) 36mm (Dollar)
So it would look like only Toonies would fit a 28mm tube, you would need larger ones to other 50 cent an dollar coins.

mestephil and Dearborn, you are most welcome! Tomorrow I venture to Office Depot to peruse their decrepit selection of D-ring binders. Actually, they do have a "heavy duty" version, but it seems that the rings don't lock very tightly. As a result, when flipping through the pages, they will suddenly be released.

Hi Hondo Boguss - Lots of luck on the binders. The weight of coins in the 3 ring binders makes it even worse. I am also a stamp collector, so I am rearranging the use of some Scott D-ring binders for pages holding 2x2 cards and I have to be careful. I also am using one Scott Specialty Album that is 3 ring with a 2.5 spine that I one bought accidentally. That one is fairly good but it gets really heavy due to the size and it is a fairly expensive binder. I am only using it as I have no good use for it in my stamp collection.

Quote: Have you seen the CCF Stamp forums yet? Yeah, I'm in it too, but been having too much fun in coins lately. But I did post a while back there about a French fairly expensive airmail stamp I had expertised. The group there pointed out an error in the stamp making it even more valuable. The experts at APS who took six months to get the certificate to me missed that.

Well, I'm glad you found the other forum. As for the error stamp, sometimes the TPG's won't look for errors unless they are directed to..
