Greetings, LTLFTP (long time lurker, first time poster). I am an old retired geezer who has been collecting what he likes for a lifetime. 99% of you here are way above my pay grade when it comes to knowledge of coins. I have spent a lifetime, so it seems, on two of my likes. First is a complete to date collection of business strike dollar coins (Morgan, Peace, Eisenhower, SBA, Sacagawea, and Presidential), and Second is a complete to date set of business strike coins issued since the year of my birth 1941, 1 Cent through 1 Dollar with most varieties excluded. These two collections contain the best I could find at a price I was willing to pay and are in circulated to AU condition. A large number of my Morgan and Peaces dollars were found, yes found, in bags at a local bank where I worked in my early twenties. Most of those more hard to find silver dollar coins were purchased in the late sixties and early seventies, not at today’s prices, thankfully. Now to my question. I have a set of OGP Silver Eagle Proofs and was wondering if there is an album that will hold these while still in the clear plastic holder as they come from the mint? Maybe one of those blank albums, but what mm size hole, sorry but at my age I am not into metric measurements?
Howdy coinpapa - Welcome to the Forum !! If there is such an album I have not heard of it. The size hole you would need would be 43-44mm because the coin itself is 40mm. And quite frankly, nobody makes a coin that big so there would be any albums. You might be able to find a non PVC 3 ring binder type page that would hold them. But that's the only thing I can think of.
Interesting. We were born the same year. But your "birth year to present" collection is WAY ahead of mine. I only did my birth year.
Try having a look through this lot, there might be something there that could be used :kewl: http://www.lighthouse.us/epages/lig...6309009e32c6271bc0a801620632/Catalog/C001017/ The other option is the lighthouse stackable coin trays
