eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 04/09/2010 5:22 pm I have had a nice Whitman album for my Presidential dollars for several years now, and this is what I intended to put my "Proofs" into. It's not a P&D album.....just Proofs....so a "date set". But on "Wizardcoinsupply.com" where I now buy my Dansco's.....I can't find a "slipcase" for this Whitman. Since I'll be putting Proof coins into this......I really wanted the slipcase for extra protection (and it will be kept at home) Anybody know *if Whitman even has slipcases ?* ....

j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/09/2010 8:21 pm I checked out their website...no slip covers. All my Whitmans, some as old as 50 years, have no slip covers. Report this Post to the Staff
eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 04/11/2010 10:18 pm Would anybody shoot me, If I found a Dansco slip cover for my Whitman album ? .... I wonder if any would even work, size wise ? .... The thing is, these will be Proof coins, I live in a VERY high humidity area (very often 98% humidity here).....and I have to keep this album at home. So, I want maximum protection for them. I will wrap them in foil maybe too....dunno......But I *really* wanted a slip cover for this evolving album ! ..... I don't want to spend any more money in the "Presidential Dollar Realm" than I have to (ie buying a Dansco album)......so I'm sticking with this Whitman....and it IS nice -- sans the slip cover though !

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 04/12/2010 08:28 am I might just do that Coin ! I remember on CCF awhile back someone had the idea of using a straw to suck the air out too ! ..... Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187702 Posts	Posted 04/12/2010 3:46 pm The Whitman and Dansco albums are different dimension. I believe the Dansco is slightly bigger, so using the Dansco slipcase for a Whitman album would not be effective. I agree, the Ziploc + desiccant would be your best solution.

eaglefoot Pillar of the Community United States 6326 Posts	Posted 04/13/2010 10:49 am Ahhh well.....that figures ! I remember when I was a kid......my buddy's Dad had put a Chevy motor in a Ford pick-up truck...and it was quite the humorous thing, since he was such a "Chevy guy"....a lot of his friends would notice the green Ford truck and try to say something....but then he could always come back and say...."Yeah, but it's got a Chevy motor, and that's why it runs so good !) ..... So, I kind of likened my "Dansco Slip case" covering a "Whitman album" in much the same way.....but, I guess they don't fit so..... Report this Post to the Staff
