<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 126793, member: 669&quot;]Since most of my collection consists of not especially valuable coins, I use ordinary 2x2s, inserted in the 20-section plastic notebook pages available from any coin store or supply dealer on the internet.&nbsp; I make my ID labels with my preferred word processing program - WordPerfect - on Avery gummed labels.</p><p><br /></p><p>The more valuable coins - gold, early <i>genuine</i> silver dragon sen/yen coins, etc. - are digitally photographed in color, and printed &quot;life&quot; size on high quality photo paper.&nbsp; The prints are then cut into 2x2 squares, and inserted at the appropriate place in the album.</p><p><br /></p><p>On backup sheets I put the details of each variety in a square behind a pocket that is left empty, and I put the year behind each other pocket, so that a completed page shows the coins already found, and the dates of the missing ones, along with the complete variety description.&nbsp; The page shown is one on which I am in the process of printing labels.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do just the opposite of Mikjo0 by using 1/2-inch binders that only hold 8-10 pages each.&nbsp; My Japanese type set takes up 2 books, the date set takes another 8, and the Puppet State collection is in the last 2 of a 12-volume set.</p><p><br /></p><p>The&nbsp; OFEC collection is set up with alternating description and coin windows in groups that allow expansion without having to redo the entire set when I add a new country. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.cointalk.org/gallery/files/6/6/9/albumpage.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
