This makes it much easier since there is no need to drill holes the size of the coins themselves. I think you just solved a major problem for me. I am interested in making my own "album" pages. How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 12:55 pm I know six of the seven holes that still need to be filled but you never show a good picture of the seventh one. I'll hazard a guess and say 39/6? If so it will probably be the easiest one to fill. Pricey but not hard to come by. And you might be able to cherry pick the 34 N-5. Report this Post to the Staff
BuckeyeCoinGuy Pillar of the Community United States 711 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 2:36 pm The poster over the foam is probably the neatest part to me. Solves the hole size issue and looks better than raw foam or even the colored plastic that Capital uses. I think you could sell enough of them through this forum to pay for a coin or two to fill some of those holes. This is an improvement over Capital Plastics holders with some light tweaking. If you made both top and bottom clear sheets thicker you could probably minimize some of the tooling for all the fasteners. Probably cheaper that way in the end when labor isn't free. You would also only need to stock the one part thickness for top / bottom sheet then too. Last concern I would see would be the paper and ink for the poster. You wouldn't want any interactions between them and the coins over time. Report this Post to the Staff
BuckeyeCoinGuy Pillar of the Community United States 711 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 2:58 pm The more I think about it, I'd use two poster layers. An under layer with all the coin images for the holes and an over the foam layer for coin information. Report this Post to the Staff
Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 3:08 pm I think my posters (if I use them) will not be paper. I don't like anything with a potential for holding water with my coins. This is why I hope to make all plastic holders/album pages (now with foam middle layer though!).
