Garoyn Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 10/10/2015 2:34 pm Anybody have an update about the Intercept Shield album folks? Are they really out of business and what stock is out there is all that there will ever be? https://goccf.com/t/126276 https://goccf.com/t/148940 The JFK half album ends with 2011 and I am looking for an update page for post-2011 JFKs. Ain't havin' no luck. And no blank pages available. I am tempted to buy another Intercept Shield JFK album to remove and reverse the pages to house post-2011 coins. Intercept Shield still has a website. http://www.interceptshield.com/albums.html I sent an inquiry to the contact email address and have received no response. Bueller? Bueller!?

Garoyn Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 10/12/2015 12:42 pm I am not optimistic that these albums are or will be continued to be developed or made. Intercept Preservation Products LLC (IPP) changed its name to eprotec Preservation Inc, (EPI) and was involved in litigation with the licensee from Alcatel/Lucent of the Intercept technology, Engineered Materials, Inc. (EMI) Some litigation reading at: http://law.justia.com/cases/federal...7/247328/20/ EMI seems to have different fish to fry than coin albums. It licensed the application of the Intercept technology for consumer applications to IPP/EPI, and that relationship apparently disintegrated (coulda used some Intercept protection I guess). i did not find the arbitration record, but the dearth of recent information about Intercept Shield, eprotect Preservation, Inc., or consumer applicaiton of the Intercept Technology leads me to believe that there will be no more Intercept Shield albums. If ya want 'em, better grab 'em now. Apparently, eprotec Preservation Inc. (EPI) still is listed as a business in New Jersey. See also http://www.interceptshield.com/contact.html http://eprotec-preservation-inc.fai...ervation-inc http://www.localcoinshops.com/the-e...ervation-inc http://www.manufacturenj.org/conten...ervation-inc EMI http://www.staticintercept.com/ Coins doesn't really seem to be on the radar for these folks. The name, Christine Tropiano, on the notice that jbuck linked is indicated as the "owner" of IPP, which now no longer exists (changed to EPI). Frank Tropiano is indicated in some places as the owner of EPI. Note that the court opinion I linked indicates how very much intertwined are the ownership interests and relationships involved. The Intercept Archival trademark is abandoned. The Intercept Technology trademark is owned by EMI. Christine/Frank, can you fill us in with updated info?

jbuck Moderator United States 190135 Posts	Posted 10/12/2015 2:42 pm Ah! I am surprised I did not remember all of that. Here is another thread from a couple years back... https://goccf.com/t/148832#1350723 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff

Garoyn Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 7:27 pm Just saw an article in the November 2015 The Numismatist referencing Wizard Coin ( ANA official supplier) and Intercept Shield: "After a four-year lapse in production, Intercept Shield double-protection boxes are available to collectors once again." The article is not specific about if this availability is because the Intercept Shield folks are truly manufacturing again or if Wizard Coin just picked up some stock from some other supply houses. But it does imply a return to manufacturing. Word smithing? Report this Post to the Staff

shatsi Pillar of the Community United States 1541 Posts	Posted 12/30/2015 12:26 pm Does anyone have the Intercept Shield type set album? How do you like it? I'm thinking of going with the Intercept Shield type set album instead of the popular Dansco, hoping it'll provide better protection against toning. Report this Post to the Staff
LocalCoinGuy Valued Member United States 398 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 10:35 am shatsi .... Yes I have an Intercept type coin and I do like it ..... Have it in safety box but will get and photograph so you can see with coins in .... I had a Dansco before and did not like, tossed it in the trash as the plastic binding wore and cracked!

batboy Pillar of the Community United States 650 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 11:13 am First, let me admit I never had an Intercept Shield album, so everything I've heard is from second hand info. But, I did a bit of research and posted some of this in another thread a while back. Full disclosure, while some have complained of ill fitting holes, others claim they had no problem. Intercept Shield seems to gets bashed by a lot of people. There have been issues with the coin hole sizes. Sometimes the coin will not physically fit into the hole and other times they are too loose and allow the coins to rotate. The Intercept Shields are made in China, so quality control is questionable and who knows what chemicals they use in the manufacturing process. I don't have one, but have heard there is a warning statement on the album to replace them every 15 years. Report this Post to the Staff
