Dansco has nothing. I have some made by Gardmaster. Not real crazy about them though.

Dansco was planning a full line of canadian albums in 2007 but put them on hold to ramp up production of the president dollar albums. I'm not sure whats in the plans now.

I use 2x2 cardboard fold and staple. Those holders where you push the coin into the book offers no protection and I would advise against their use.

I would advise against uni safe. especially if you live in a warm and humid area..
the folders are consturcted out of PVC and will harm your coins after any length of time in them.

You think these companies would stop with the PVC already!

I think nds76 has the right idea, for several reasons, some of which have been mention here. I would add another point: The Whitman folders are high risk to fingerprints on the coin. Even with cotton gloves, One has to push so hard at times that the oils on our skin HAS to be forcedthru, and onto the face of the coin. The 2X2 flips, with a staple, WITH THE ENDS FLATTENED DOWN, work fine, and they have stopped using PVC in them. Topher, does VColonial Acres have albums, etc?

Dick, Colonial Acres stocks the Unimasters, but they have the Gardmasters for the Presidential dollars and the State Quarters. I prefer the Gardmasters, personally. I just wish I could find a dealer over here in Toronto that I could just drop by every week. Unfortunately, they're mostly downtown and I never go there. |

Thanks, Topher. I haven't considered the plastic, multi-pocket , three ring folders for storage, but I may have to go that route! I'm running out of flips, and tubes. Having them in that type folder makes it easier to look for a particular one, but I don't 'dig into" the ones I have in tubes, unless it is to search a particular date, for recently found varieties. having the folders is nice when one wants to "show-off the collection. my coin money has been used up for this month, on ebay "winnings". so I am going to wait until next month to try and get a box, of Canadian cents. Sue wish I lived closer the the "northern border, instad of the Southern border". Dick |

I just got a Whitman canadian small cent folder, it goes from 1920 up to 1954, with extra spaces that do not have dates, so I suppose this is an older album.
