<p>[QUOTE="352sdeer, post: 3939306, member: 91351"]I’ve been using inexpensive Whitman coin folders for 50 years and found out early that you really have to seat the coin in the hole very firmly so that the coin extends and pushes the backing out to show the outline of the coin. By putting the folder on a towel when installing coins in the holes you’ll be able to push the coins in far enough to extend the backing to show the outline of the coin. If the coin is removed from the hole the hole becomes oversized after a couple of times and the coins then don’t seat tightly. If you have the type of folder that has a hard backing to the hole you’ll never get the coin to seat far enough to fit tightly in the hole thus your type of problem. The problem with the good albums in my opinion is that they can cost more than the coins your putting in them. I just don’t like to put my cheap coins in an album that cost more than the collection they contain. That said I do own one good album that houses my Indian cent collection but the rest of my coins are in inexpensive folders, 2x2’s and 3 ring binder 2x2 pages.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope this helps,</p><p>Reed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
