CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12887 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 11:12 am Yes, it was certainly a welcome break. That's why I don't do subscriptions any longer... I group my purchases to save the $4.95 shipping per order. Report this Post to the Staff

SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 05:42 am Hello all, As promised, here are pictures of the Album that I've bought (I bought a total of 4 at $22/each + shipping). Air Tite charged around $25 for shipping, for order under 20 lbs, which is quite expensive. I only need 1 but ordered 4 + 40 of the Z5 air-tite capsule + other supplies to save on the shipping and if there are interests, I may put up the 3 extra albums and Z5 capsules up for sale....... The album is quite nice, very light, since the material used to hold the coin is made out of some kind of foam and white thick paper on top. The black cover is made out of some kind of stiff-leather. The overall look is very professional, good quality. However, with 25+ oz of silver in place, this has to be handle in a careful manner. Overall image of the inside: The coin with Z5 capsule: Two of five empty slot for the 5 ozers: Ready to insert two of them in: The coins fit snuggly inside the slots: Front cover (shakky hand): Back cover (shakky hand) - wording said "www.bookofsilver.com" which is the manufacturer of this Album, you can go there for more info (their price is higher though): Spine/side view: What do you guys thinks.

SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 05:49 am Sorry, I forgot to answer a few question: 1) Each Album/book can hold 5 coins (1 year) 2) Each slot is designed to fit the Z5 air-tite capsule ONLY. 3) Cost: To me, they cost about $25/each (including shipping) 4) You also need the 5 air-tite Z5 capsules, they cost me about $2/each (average out w/ shipping cost) - online/eBay selling for about $4/each. So, total cost to store 5 coins (1 year) is about $35 for me. It will cost you a bit more if you just buy these alone, because of the high shipping charge. Report this Post to the Staff

Teach Pillar of the Community United States 1255 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 12:50 pm Very nice, I like the look of those albums a lot. What a great way to store and display the pucks. Report this Post to the Staff
Hollywood Pillar of the Community United States 1228 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 1:31 pm Verry nice I think these went out of stock because collectors were ordering 12 albums at a time before they went out of stock again to house all 56 pucks . http://www.air-tites.com/book-of-si...bums.htm#5oz Report this Post to the Staff
omxfl Pillar of the Community United States 1026 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 1:57 pm I think these are a little pricey if you're in for the long haul. This box http://www.apmex.com/product/81391/...coin-atb-set is a better alternative I think, and it's made out of wood: Edited by omxfl 04/07/2015 1:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SA4H Pillar of the Community United States 2764 Posts	Posted 04/07/2015 4:47 pm The cabinet that omxfl shown is the one that Barry bought a while back. I was very tempted to get that cabinet. However, I don't have all designs of all years (my collection is spotty and only at about 50% of the over all issue; so, getting the cabinet will create "holes" OR I have to continue getting some of the expensive coins. This Album is a good alternative where I can just fill in the holes in each albums with the coins I have and the design that I like and don't have to feel like my collection is "incomplete". So there are two choices: 1) Have a complete collection ===> go with the wood cabinet give you better value for your money and also a bit cheaper too (one time shell-shock but cheaper in the long run). 2) Don't have a complete collection/missing out on those expensive 2012 coins (like me) ===> get these Album and be happy. Note: I am thinking of putting some of the P-mint coins into the Z5 capsule and fill the Album with some of those. Anyone have tried that yet? Report this Post to the Staff

Anyone have tried that yet? Yes, I did that for the one year (2011, I think) that I purchased P pucks from the mint instead of bullion pucks. I kept the OGP in case I ever need to resell them, but the pucks themselves went into Z5 capsules and into my cabinet.

I do not collect the pucks, so it does not really matter to me. Always use what you feel is best.
