Coin Holders

That is fast!!! Ive bought from JPs a number of times and I've found that they're the fastest and friendliest place for coin supplies. They're the only ones I buy from anymore.

Wow - either all of you own stock or they do a pretty good job at customer satisfaction.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

You should try them out Darryl, I think you'll be satisfied.

 

Eagle holders for all my mid-high level raw coins.

 

Ill have to check these out. They look great online!

 

I love Intercept Shield 2x2s. They work great, the coins look great in them. They're held securely. They're protected from the elements in their holders and then you get double protection by using one of their 2x2 boxes which holds 32 holders. Highly recommended. Next best thing to slabs IMO.

 

I will admit the Intercept Shield holders are excellent for protection, however, I like the Eagle Holders better because they look better, can label them and the fact that you can see the entire rim. IS holders are kinda expensive and the fact that I use the Intercept Shield storage boxes gives me the benefit of that technology's protection anyway.

 

If you are referring to Eagle Holders, I agree, they look great, aren't too expensive and do a great job of protecting and displaying the whole coin.

 

Hello everyone,

I just read this thread and was shocked, am I the only one who loves Dansco albums? I just started putting my collecting into them about a year ago, still have more to purchase. Originally I had all my coins in 2x2 like many collectors, but wanted better protection. After a lot of going back and forth, mainly due to price, I finally broke down, and have been happy ever since. The only complaint is the Barber Dime series, darn things keep slipping down.:headbang::headbang:...Going to have to upgrade to some that are not paper thin I guesss

Coinman: I think albums are a study unto themselves, but since you brought it up, why not Intercept Shield albums? Are they the same construction as dansco? Personally I am not into albums for lots of reasons, but the Eagle coin holders can be arranged into some nice custom albums if desired.

 

try their 100 sizer for a bigger series it works wonders.

 

TV,

You very well maybe right as to albums being a study unto themselves. I have only tried the Whitman Coin Holders (aka Thumb Busters), 2X2's in binders / boxes, and Dansco Albums. If any real reason why I took a liking to Dansco is I like neutral colors. Beside the color these where the first two sided viewable albums I had stumbled across. My first album was off of ebay when I purchased a complete set of Roosevelt Dimes, and I was very impressed with the manufactoring. I have looked at other albums, and someday might actually buy a few check them out, etc and who knows right a paper on variious way of housing coins, lol

I guess it also depends on what type of coin as far as value-not too many Whitman Cardboard $20 Gold albums out there..LOL! Also the grade/value/rarity increase so too does risk of damaging it while adding coins to and from an album. In the case of Roosevelt dimes, most are not rare at all so it would make sense to use an album even in mint/proof state unless a DCAM proof or super grade 1949-S, Roosevelt dimes are not supervaluable. With mid to high value coins that are kept in the raw, a better individual holder makes more sense. In the case of Eagle Holders, they can be put into album pages made for them or with an adapter, can be put in a certified-slabbed album page if desired. I have the Eagle album pages for both their holders and slabs as well as their boxes, but I don't use them now since I use Intercept Shield boxes and covers for the slabs.

 

I just took a look at the Eagle 2X2's, and various other supplies. Those seem nice, however I like the albums as I can see a bunch at once, and I don;t have to open boxes, trays etc.

I will see if I can find an old $20. Gold Whitman album, lol. I'll sell it on Ebay for any $20.00 Gold collectors to store there collection in, lol.

With the Eagle Holders you can make your own album with the inert mylar pages so you can see them all at once basically while having the advantage of individual coin holder protection-the best of both worlds so to speak. I find them simple to assemble and put in either their custom binder or my own archival quality binder. Again, for mid-high value coins I would not put them in a direct insert type binder, but rather something like Eagle's holder/binder combo. For lower value coins, I would say have fun with anything that floats your boat. Yeah, I have to give myself a little credit for the $20 Gold cardboard Whitman holder. LOL! That would be funny to see!

 

Any opinions on the Marcus holders sold by JP?

 

hmm, where do i get these holders again? i thought plastic casings would be enough... are those air-tite, really air tight?

 

No. but more so than most. If you want air tight, try heat sealed mylar flips.

Jim

 

those might be air tight but air sealed....

 

No more than the air in an "air tite" when you push the top on. And handling an air tite will "bellow" air in/out due to its flexibility. But as you know we are talking very very limited amounts. But for the intellectual stimulation :smile Take a mylar flip, add a blue dye ( such as ink jet ink) and heat seal it. Do the same adding to an air -tite and close it. Put each into a glass of water ( simulating years of exposure), add something to hold under the surface. Guess which leaks first and how much.
