Well I'm trying a new style of album, for my collection. I bought Lighthouse's Grande album, with their clear 2x2(20) page. It is a nice 4-ring binder, which holds the page well. First series I am working on, is my SBA/Sac/President dollars. I am putting them in direct-fit airtites then into lighthouses selfseal 2x2's then into the page. So far looks very nice. I have two questions for anyone with a similar album. First, what size 2x2 do you use with the A series airtite? I am trying with a 35mm openeing. Not sure if it would look better with a a tighter fit, maybe the 32.5mm 2x2?? Second, how are you labeling the 2x2's? Are you using avery labels ang cutting them to fit, or labeling by hand? Thanks, Jim
I got away from lighthouse products. Tho i think the binders are just outstanding, Im concerned about PCV in the pages. Someone was telling me even PVC gas can leak into a 2 x 2 and hurt your coins. man..i dont know what to do next
Tape the edges of the 2x2's, this will prevent that from happening. I think you'll be fine if you do that. Its pretty time consuming though.
YOu can just do what I did and get a Dansco 7000. It is an album with 2x2's and holds 108 coins. Only cost around $17-18 bucks. archival safe too. stainless
That's not a bad way to go either. If it were me, I would by one of those in the first place. But its up to Jim, save money and tape the 2x2's, or save time and get a Dansco. Its up to you Crusher. Hope we helped
