sn31...can you heat seal the little half flippy things and then put them into the slots? I didn't mean for this to be so much trouble for you. :-(

sn31, why don't you contact Littleton and explain your problem and may they will replace or give you some guidance from their prospective. Personally, I would never remove a proof coin from the original holder as another forum member stated.
Good Luck,
Berry

Oh,Debbie it's okay.I just got to figure it out.Most of my proofs are in 2X2's,I just don't know how good it will look it I cut them up,I want them neat,pretty,and organized :)I definitely don't want to hurt the surface of the proofs as Prethen warned.Some good advice Berry,I was thinking I was going to have see if they sold extra sleeves,because there isn't enough for all the countries specified.It's going to be fun putting this together Debbie,I just want to do it right.Charley I'm sure will enjoy this too :) sn31.

I ordered these special 2x2 holders, it fits perfectly!
Or did you buy what is claimed to be a 2x2 holder?
TKC!

I guess what is claimed to be 2X2 holders.I wasn't aware there were
1 1/2 X 1 1/2 untill Jim mentioned it.
If they'll work it will be worth transferring them all for the sake of the proofs. :) sn31

Guys...she didn't buy anything. I sent it to her for her birthday because she collects World coins. There's got to be a way to make this less cumbersome. I have one of the albums too. That's a good idea though to contact Littleton and see what they would have to say. The pages are smaller than an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet or I would suggest getting some of those and replacing what she has. This will work out - somehow.

Wow! What a bummer!!! I've got a complete Sacagawea set with proofs in a Dansco album - same thing with my SBA set, my ASE set, and my Ike set. All uncirculated and proof, and in Dansco albums. I've been very careful in handling any coin, should I have a need to take it out of the album, and, NOW, I find that I have been damaging my proof coins, and probably my uncirculated coins as well, every time I slide the plastic in or out of the sleeve. I guess the only to preserve them is to just not remove another coin from an album. Thanks for that info Prethern. Ralph |

Yes Ralph,you sure learn alot on this forum from other members.If there is on thing I've learned here,is to ask before I leap.I'm happy I've protected my proofs,no matter their value,they are pretty special to me...:) sn31.

Ralph, you MAY damage your coins with the plastic slides. There is no guarantee that you have. Just use extra care and try to keep the sliding to a minimum. Also, try to ensure that the coins are not flush with the slide. If the slide doesn't touch the coin, it can't damage it.  Edited by texasmick

Okay,I figured this whole problem out.There were some extra little sleeves that came attatched in 3's,that easily pull away from each other,that slide down into the slots for these coins.It doesn't solve the "proof sliding" problem,but will be okay for circulated coins.I may have figured this out sooner,but apparently my toddler grabbed them,and took them to his favorite hiding spot.I also found my extra set of keys,my brush,and a half empty bottle of sprite..the little stinker :) sn31.

Sounds like your little toddler is already a pack-rat and is well on his way to being a great coin collector. I'm so glad that you solved your problem with the album! |
