<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 4188821, member: 87404&quot;]Lately I&#039;ve run out of the 20-coin pages and have been using a blue Whitman plastic box first out of necessity. But the past couple months, I&#039;ve been really liking having a box instead the &quot;trapper keeper&quot; and plastic pages. So last week I ordered a 5-pack of the red cardboard boxes (I&#039;m too frugal to binge on more Whitman).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075974[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Like Doug, I liked the dividers (and the ridged bottoms) included in the Whitman to keep the coins in a not-full box in place, but were lacking in these red boxes.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075975[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So taking his advice in his post, I went and added dividers... Here&#039;s his process I followed:</p><p><br /></p><p>I found some cardboard in nice condition (the wife&#039;s Amazon purchases gave me plenty of resources) and traced out the size I&#039;d need using the plastic flips.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075976[/ATTACH]</p><p>I cut them out carefully as to not bend the cardboard.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075977[/ATTACH]</p><p>I put hot glue on one side and the bottom (nice tip, [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]!), placed it, and held it for a handful or two seconds.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075978[/ATTACH]</p><p>As Doug described, only doing one side allows the box to flex without breaking the dividers off.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075979[/ATTACH]</p><p>Here are the finished results.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075980[/ATTACH]</p><p>And a photo with coins and the dividers doing what one would expect, holding them within their smaller compartment.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075982[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I have ~75 coins in my full Whitman box, so I&#039;m expecting to fit the same in these, totalling around 375 coins in these 5 boxes + the 75 available space in my Whitman, and that should just about cover the size of my collection give or take.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now the fun happens, transferring them, organizing them, etc... I&#039;m actually looking forward to it! I haven&#039;t paid too much attention to this, the greater collection, in a few months.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1075988[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
