Odd that your in a hurry for an album. But have you tried any local coin shops or coin shows? Seldom do book stores carry those so don't even bother there. But there should be a coin or hobby store in your area. If a hobby store just ask and they may have one or could order you one but of course they would charge for that service. Some coin shows also carry coin albums.
As to putting your coins in the albums, do not use a metal hammer. make sure the hammer your using to force them into the slots are rubber or plastic.
If they still don't fit, grind off some of the edges.
Just kidding I hope you know. Cotton gloves are one method but if your carefull, you could just use a cotton cloth or handle by the edges and only if you really, really wash your hands. The coins should fit fairly tight but don't force them if they don't fit exactly. Remove both slides and take a larger coin than the hole was intended for and use as a reem to very slightly enlarge the hole by turning in the slot.
