What folder/ album do you use to hold your coins?

Just curious as to what you use for safely storing, and displaying your coins. I have on Dansco album, and I find them to be excellent. I have a few of those regular folding Whitman books too.

I use Whitman folders for most of my stuff since I just CRH. I have a couple of Dansco albums full of halves and quarters that were passed down to me from my grandpa though and they are pretty good.

 

i use whitman an harris folders for all circulation coins and dansco's for ASE's, an Maple's an silver rounds an the like and also for U.S. proof coins...

 

I use coin flips and plastic holder pages in a binder. I'm not a big fan of the albums. There is something about having to push the coin into the spot and the obverse being exposed.

 

none. i dont believe in punishing innocent coins or devaluing my investment.

 

Most of what I have that is not slabbed goes into Capital Plastics holders and two 1952 dated Dansco folders one for the Liberty Walking half dollars 1935-47 and one for the Peace dollars I am filling with average circulated coins bought at junk silver prices. My collection is rather small but specialized.

 

My collection is mostly in slabs so no album will work for me.

 

Same here, either slabs for better coins or quadrum & storage boxes for my B collection... not using any folders/albums.

 

I use Dansco albums for the circulated collections. Most of my nicer stuff is either slabbed or in airtites.

 

Dansco for my un-slabbed and Eagle coin holder for my slabbed stuff

I have an atb whitman map for atb's obviously.
I use whitman and harris for other coins as well. seem to work just fine.

 

Do you like these albums? I have never bought one because the website photos are so small you can't a good look at them.

 

I use the eagle pages to hold slabs in standard 3-ring books. Yes, I like the Eagle pages muchly.

 

OK, cool. Thanks.

 

I went to their web site and checked them out. The photos of all of their products are way too small. I sent them a message stating that. I'll post whatever, if any, reply I get from them.

 

I think we have all had a collection of raw coins & then didn't know what to do when you add a slabbed coin to the raw collection. My solution today is to just add an Eagle page to the raw coin 3-ring.

This approach recently allowed me to keep all my ancient coins in one 3-ring (without either cracking slabs or getting raw coins slabbed). This means that if I buy an ancient coin that is raw, it stays raw. If I buy an ancient coin in a slab, it stays in the slab.

 

I have mostly slabbed coins for my Type Set. Those that are raw I put into CoinWorld Premier slab holders(green ones) that are the same size as PCGS slabs. I put all this into Lighthouse slab pages. I've been happy with them. I wouldn't want to do an entire Lincoln or even Morgan set this way, but it works well for a Type Set where you only have about 90 coins(10 pages).

 

That looks good...I like those. I might look into that.

 

My complete Morgan dollar collection.



My two complete 20th Century type sets.





Plus other Capital Plastics holders for Eisenhower 40% silver issues only, Mercury dimes 1934-45, Two more 20th Century type sets, wartime coinage holder for the cents and nickels.

My Liberty Seated type set is in NGC boxes. The half dimes and double dimes are complete. I need one more dime and two quarters and they will be done. Next is the Trade dollars which I have two of the five I want for the set. Two halves and no Seated dollars so I have quite a bit to go.

 

I use Dansco "blank" albums that I have labeled myself (or paid someone to label) and place my coins in airtites (black rings) IN the album, hence my use of Dansco's blank millimeter pages. I use 32mm blank pages for the A-size airtites, the 37mm blank pages for the T-size, and 44mm pages for the H-size airtites. The airtites fit nice and snug that way. I also use TWO pages (adhered together) to fit the airtites.

My method strikes the right balance between presentation, preservation, and storage. For me, anyway.

I'm not saying that my method is the best way to keep my coins, but it's the one that I feel comfortable with.
