I wonder what the covers are made of, it seems like a very low price. Lighthouse makes good quality stuff, but this seems almost too good to be true.

The colors look decent as well. I would want to see in hand before buying, especially how coins are stored/removed.

Certainly priced right.
Check for PVC content.
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Looks like similar holders for other lighthouse albums, I have some of those and seems to hold the coins well. Can be frustrating to remove some coins, both othewise they seem to work well. For the price, I don't know if they can be beat (Binder + Pages + Holder for coins) and have decent looking material.

It is probably not something I would store an MS large cent collection in. But modern circulation coins, looks like it would work just fine.

I have used these for all Canadian denominations since shortly after they were released. They have rigid inserts, which are PVC free (unlike the low end blue albums which are still sold). Certain coins are hard to remove, such as nickels, large cents and quarters, so they are best if you aren't going to keep switching up coins.

I searched for a long while to find an real old leather album but could never find one. Then one day a coin dealer told me that dealers keep those ones for themselves whenever they find one as rare and nice as I was looking for .
I ended up with a binder from Walmart full of pages of 2x2's.

That is a certainly good price on the link.

What are the "pockets"? Does the album hold 2x2s or ?

Thanks!
