I love the 20 slot pages with 2x2 flips. Nice and clean with lots of room for growth. But in the binder the edges stick out. I was first thinking about post binders but they lay landscape. There are also wider regular binders. But searching around I found these archival box binders. http://www.pfile.com/product/par-y-...Ring-BindersI like! |

I like the way those look! A little on the pricey side, but not too bad considering the prices of nicer albums. Thanks for the heads up!

Does anyone make flip holding pages with holes cut out where the coin would sit so you don't have to look through two layers of plastic? It couldn't be hard to do, I just wonder if anybody does.

They do look tiddier than my binders but a little pricey but if they look as good as they look and hold up over time they would be worth it.

Agree with pricey. I found some cheaper but they don't look quite as nice. Still looking ...
nybid: that extra layer is protection :) but I know what you mean about trying to view through it. By the time a cent hits my binder it's been photographed. After that I use the photo up view and consider upgardes etc.

Good observation, thanks. I'm working on a binding idea that would have printed cardstock between flip holding pages so the protection is not as vital.
I was thinking of using one of my electrical punches and customizing my flip holders but that's a lot of work, if I could just buy them ready made.

I've found photographic supply stores to be excellent sources for coin collecting supplies.  Many years ago my local photo shop stocked PrintFile Safe-T-Binders. They're reasonably cheap, but absolutely the best coin albums I've used so far. Their original Australian distributor went bust and I haven't been able to get any recently, but looking at the website again just now I see they've appointed a new one. I'll have to try them out. I like them because they're rigid plastic and all in one piece; you can stack them up high if you need to, and the bottom one won't get squeezed under the weight of the ones on top (which could lead to solvent transfer problems). Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I put my more significant coins in 2x2. Some then go into "Plano" tackle boxes ( Kmart stock them, at a reasonable price, in Australia): there's a size, a little over 2" deep, with compartments 2" wide, that enables 2x2 to be stored and retreived easily. The rest go into albums, and I suffer the same frustations as the rest of you. Sap, that Safe-T-Binder looks interesting: so, you lay the sheet with 20 pockets for 2x2 flat inside those boxes - have I got that right ? |

Yep, it's just like an ordinary binder, but with plastic walls on all four sides. The only drawback are the clips holding it together are also plastic, and wear and break after repeated use. That's one reason why I need some replacements.

thing is,the flips themselves may be dangerous long term to the coins depending on brand!
