I can not afford to purchase the Presidential Spouse gold coins
so I decided to get the Spouse medals.

Now I would like to store them in an album but am stuck on which I should use and where I can look.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

I've never run across an album designed for medals - but that doesn't mean they don't exist!

However, you should be able to use anything that uses the "Crown" size. - That could be the 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 holders with vinyl pages, etc.

Actually, I just ran across some info. The Spouse medals are 1 5/16" in diameter. That works out to just a little over 34 millimeters.

So you could get a blank dansco album and buy the 34 millimeter blank pages to fill the album. Of course, you would have to come up with a way to label them, etc.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

The metals are bit larger then a half dollar
and a bit smaller then a Morgan.

Any other suggestions other then a Dansco?

Littleton makes an album called "LCARAW" (Littleton Custom Coin Album) that has clear coin holders which slide into clear pages holding 9 coins per page. A Canadian Wolf Dollar fits in it and that measures pretty close to 34mm. I like it for having a collection of differing sized coins but it would work for same sized coins or medals.
