143Paul New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 02/23/2016 4:49 pm So I have been collecting Commemorative Olympic silver Biathlon Proofs from around the world. I am trying to figure out the best way to store them? The problem is that they are a variety of diameters. From 40mm to 25mm. A total of 20 coins now. The rest of my collection are US coins - So I like the Dansco albums. So I did try a Dansco album with 3 pages 40MM, 35mm, and 30mm. Some of the coins are a perfect fit, and some are looser, but OK. I could slab them - does Dansco have pages for slabs? Thanks for your help. I am open to any ideas Report this Post to the Staff

jbuck Moderator United States 189502 Posts	Posted 02/23/2016 5:47 pm Have you considered using the blank Dansco binder and their 12-pocket 2x2 pages? http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...-pocket.html http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...sco-binders/ This is how I keep my foreign coins since size is allover the place. Only problem is that the 2x2 pretty much maxes out at 38.1 mm. You might be able to use this page with a 2.5x2.5 holder... http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...-pocket.html However, holders will be loose. Maybe just stick with the standard pages for the coins larger than 38mm. http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...ge-39mm.html http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...ge-40mm.html 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
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12845 Posts	Posted 02/23/2016 11:13 pm Sounds like a very interesting collection. Would love to see some pictures. As for slabs, I don't know if Dansco has a slab album, but I don't remember seeing one; could have missed it. I do know that other companies make albums for slabs. You can peruse Wizard for ideas. Maybe slabs and a slab box? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189502 Posts	Posted 02/24/2016 09:21 am As far as I know, Dansco does not make a slab album. Best you can do is get the vinyl pages with the right sized pocket. However, I think money is better invested in an album designed to accommodate slabs.

143Paul New Member United States 47 Posts	Posted 02/24/2016 4:22 pm Thanks everyone for your input. I will get some pictures up with what I have. I was thinking of using the airtight foam boarders to take up the space. Does anyone have a few spars I could try, before I buy a bag of 50 of them? Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 189502 Posts	Posted 02/24/2016 5:22 pm I think that is a pretty good idea. 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
1carpediem123 New Member United States 10 Posts	Posted 02/28/2016 8:55 pm Check out a CAPS Album. If you can get you coins into Air-Tites, you can get a page that will hold all of them on the same page. And you can go to their website and create a custom page for your collection. http://www.capsalbums.com Report this Post to the Staff
