    Does anybody have a tip on to prevent large US cents from rotating in the Whitman album. I know they made oversized holes because of the diameter size differences of these coins. However, it is quite annoying and I don't want to end up using trays or slabs.

    Use shims. I cut shims from a ring from an airtite. Let me see if I can find a picture showing it.

    Look at the top of the 1806 and 1807. You see a shim in at the top.

    Good tip! I have plenty of airtite rings. I also like that there are flexible and inert and won't react with the copper. Thanks!
