Hello! I have a LWC collection with about 40 coins. I'm currently keeping them in 2x2 coin flips, in a Whitman 2x2 coin holder box. I have tried putting these coins into Whitman folders, but I don't like that I have to take them out to view the reverse of the coin. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! |

My LWC/LMCs are stored in a Dansco album.
You can't go wrong with those IMHO.

Dansco album for sure. They are great albums and the coins really look nice against the light tan background.

Since you have them in 2x2's already why not just buy a 3 ring binder and some clear pages that hold the 2x2's and store them that way?

Either the 3 ring binder or Dansco album mentioned seem like they's be good options for you. The Dansco albums are very nice if you have the money to spend. If not, the 3-ring binder method works great. That's how I kept my coins for many years.

You can always store them in my safe  I like the Dansco albums, but I use the 2x2 method (actually 1.5 x 1.5) holders personally, I like the 1.5" sized holders for coins Quarter sized and smaller, as I can fit a lot more of them on each page, and not have so many pages in each binder, plus I think for the smaller coins like cents, 3¢ pieces, nickels and dimes they just show better.

Remember this is sort of a Dansco Album forum. There are numerous other manufacturers of Albums and many are a lot cheaper than Dansco. As a starter go to the Wizard coin supply web site and look up albums. Or coin supply express. And you would find many are just as good and a lot cheaper. Littleton ones are green and Whitman is blue. All depends on what you like. All will keep your coins as safe as any Album.

I put them in a Whitman/Harris folder, and the spares I have sorted by decade in their tubes.
