So about a year after starting my Canadian pennies "album", it is currently my only "album" to date. ( I bought a nice leather-bound binder with display pages-20 coins per- and some 2x2s ).

I have recently completed my penny album thanks to a homeless man who I bought hundreds of pennies from, and realized that even though I have been collecting silver quarters and dimes as well as older nickels, I haven't made any effort to put together albums for any other denomination other than the penny. ( all of my silver quarters and dimes are currently stacked in plastic tubes from Gatewest Coin and all of my nickels are rubbing against each other in some bubblewrap lol..I know you will cringe when you read that part! )

So yesterday I decided I was going to put together some albums to finally display my collection of quarters, dimes and nickels as well.
So I purchased 3 leather binders before work today and had my wife get me some coin pages from Gatewest Coin since they are only open while I'm working.

The next step is to start filling holes as I have not gathered together any common date dimes, quarters or nickels.
( thank god I already have every commemorative quarter from 1990 and up from roll hunting for silver quarters )


-will post pics once I get home, put the albums together, sort my coins already in 2x2s and put some coins in 2x2s that aren't already so-
Rest in Peace

Good for you!

I have a bit of a mess on my hands because one year after I started collecting I changed my mind and decided -- just like you -- to put them in notebooks.

I'll keep the red boxes for the seconds and thirds, etc. But the best ones will go into notebooks so that I can enjoy them easily.

Good luck with the notebooks.

I find these work pretty well. Each page has 12 two by two slots. Doesn't get as unwieldy as the larger notebook pages. Warning, these (and many other coin pages) contain some vinyl. I put the coin into a 2 x 2 mylar saflip, then into the pages.

Once I decided that I was going to create an album for a series, I did allot of research and ended up with these:

Since the slots are unmarked, I was able to create my own labels and include those that I wanted in the album. Specifically for my case, it was for Canadian 1 cents, including Specimen, Proof, Proof-like and Business strikes. It also allowed me to accommodate the well known variations as well. They are a bit pricey (And I required two to accommodate all the pieces), however they present very well.
