Dansco 7000 Vs "Standard" 2x2 Pages & Album

Fuzzy, are you just using a standard 3-ring binder? I'm wondering if the weight of 20 coins per page would make these pages sag over time. Plus, a 3-ring Walmart binder wouldn't be as "elegant" to flip (no pun intended) through as an album would be...

Very good point that keeping them in 2x2 flips means I get to define the Type Collection as whatever I want it to be.

So, I did further reading and found the Intercept Shield US Type album, said to have issues with a couple holes fitting the coins. This album, too, appears to be discontinued now.

I have had some of the plastic pages for years and can testify that eventually the holes for the binder's clamps can actually stretch an break if the album is stored on a bookshelf.

Over a long period of time (20 years+) I have actually experienced where 2X2s will slip out of the pockets and fall if the 3-ring is tipped upside down. So overall, this has made me think they do sag/deteriorate/whatever over time with the not only the weight of the coins, but also just with aging.

I like the compactness of albums and, to me, they look more professional and aesthetically pleasing. But I do not like the fact that albums will tone MS coins over time, even though some toning is amazing to see. I have to wonder if future collectors will say, "What were they thinking by letting the coins slowly degrade?!:

So my best coins are in 2X2s. My circulated, or extra, common BU coins are in albums (for now) .
