If possible, I would want to find pages that could hold a slabbed coin as well (I know, a little bigger-but I'm looking at my options at the moment)-but if I wanted to put together and display a set I would want key coins to be slabbed and in the album with the other coins. Like I said, my current albums make me nervious with the air flow and I'm affraid that adding new coins will damage the coins already present because of sliding the plastic flaps. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, what ever I do, I want it to look nice and protect the coins.
