<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 344136, member: 4552"]I'll throw in my 2 CENTS. If you check out Whitman, you can purchase Albums for almost any coin. If you want you can purchase a blank Album and blank pages from them. This is good if you want to make your own type of colletion. Not sure it Dansco or others sell such a variety of blank pages. All pages have two holes for the albums. Whitman also sells sheets of Gold press on letters/numbers so you can add your own titles under the coins if using those blank pages. Another thing is if you want you can usually find the older, non removable paged Whitman Albums,tear off the covers and punch holes for puting into the more modern Albums. With this you can mix and match anything you want. </p><p>Of course if you look into albums you'll find Dansco, Littleton, Intercept Shield and on and on and on. So much depends on your preference, availability of different items, color of albums, etc. I've found basically if you want you can purchase almost anything of these on line. If your in the facinity of coin shows and coins stores, many handle those. </p><p>Now as to Stainless Steel. If you look up that term you would find there are numerous grades of that substance. Probably everything from Pakistan says Stainless Steel. For sure from China also, except their toys of course. Those are Lead. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The amazing thing about Stainless Steel is that low grades still rust, tarnish, corrode, etc. Note that many of the very highest grades are NON MAGNETIC. Those do not rust, corrode, tarnish, etc. Usually termed Surgical Stainless and usually about classified 440 or higher. My favorite test is to use a magnet. If it is not attracted to a magnet and says Stainless Steel, it is a high grade. Had to check a hugh construction project for that and if the magnet stuck, contractors had to replace with a higher grade at their expense. </p><p>As to staples, I doubt that anyone makes such as high grade Stainless Steel Staple but go to office supply companies with a magnet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
