I know some people don't really care for these, but I like them, so I collect them.

I had these stored in a Dansco Millimeter Album, but I saw these Air-tite albums and thought they would look nicer since they are black and better suited to the five coin layout I was going for; plus I get the added benefit of having each one in its own Air-tite capsule. Each page has the Proof and Bullion release for the Silver and Copper round plus a first year of issue of the coin that they based the design on.

Thanks for checking it out and please, let me know what you think!

I really like what you did there. Who would have thought to arrange Zombucks with their corresponding historic coinage directly adjacent? Cool juxtaposition. Very imaginative.

Wow that is awesome! I personally love the Zombucks, but have only been able to afford the coppers so far. Your idea is amazing!

Very clever, wouldn't have thought of your display idea. I love them all - have both the coppers and the silver for each of the 5 so far. Can't wait for 6-10.

I just have the Walker and MorgueAnne, Matt, but am amenable to the idea of collecting more down the road. I like 'em. Big fan of the Walking Dead, which dovetails nicely with my coin hobby in this instance. I'd bet a three-legged zombie buffalo that the show was probably the inspiration for the entire fantasy coin series, if the makers haven't already admitted as much.

I actually like the Airtite album all by itself and wasn't aware of the product's existence until I saw your pic. At $25 or so for 30 coins, I've been trying to do the math on just how many I'd need for my entire collection, minus duplicates. Probably about 500-600 1oz. coins. Maybe $400-500. Phew, that would be spendy! But it would be a practical way to display them. Far better than my current method of slapping every coin or round in an Airtite and stacking them in boxes.

Been trying to find 1 silver walker for a friend who wants to collect the whole series. I'm surprised at how much the 1st one is going for. Wish I would have bought more. If anyone knows of where to get the 1st one for a better price then $55 - $65, please let me know. Would be much appreciated.

Just as a word of advice for anyone contemplating the airtite albums: I ended up doubling up the pages because they are only about half the thickness of the air-tite and the H and I holders tend to slip out of the holes. It works PERFECTLY with two pages, fits like a glove.

I did some albums of birth year sets for my kids using the silver proof sets and proof ASE. They look really nice too. I'll get some pictures up soon.

@Traevin 500-600oz! That is a dragon's hoard, not a stack! Nice one! Let's see pics!

I REALLY like the way you did that.

I'm not a big fan of the series but I think you have done an outstanding job of presenting them.

Thanks everyone! I am just hoping they don't do one based on the double eagle. My budget can't handle that!
