LibertyEagle20 Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 7:45 pm What is the best way to account for slabbed coins in a Whitman or Dansco album? I know many of you will say "crack open the slab" but I would prefer not to go that route. I thought about cutting round pieces of cardboard to fit in the holes and write the TPG name and grade on it but I wanted to see if anyone else had a better idea. Thanks!

Most toy stores will have replicas that are virtually the same size as the original. I thought it looked a little lame, but it served it purpose. After that I started getting either filler or low grade versions of the coin and putting a star next to the date to indicate it was in a slab...but then if I found a higher grade one then the star was still there because not every system is perfect. I am curious to see what other people do as well... Report this Post to the Staff

I have made some upgrades and changes since these were taken. Been working on this type set for probably 12 years or better here and there. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 02/23/2018 9:00 pm Album pages for slabs are available. Due to thickness only about four pages can be included in the album. There is another way. I use re cycled four ring trade sample catalog binders. I use these with standard 20 pocket album pages. For slabs, depending trade sample catalog binder spine back width, up to about ten pages of 9 pocket slab album pages can be accommodated; that works out to around 90 slabs. Not keen on lever arch binders, because they only have two binder rings. Edited by sel_69l 02/23/2018 9:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff

He put a printed sticker on a filler coin... http://goccf.com/t/289249#2458238 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
