<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgan, post: 87104, member: 3630&quot;]Part of the reason the albums are diffacult is that they are compressed paper. If the retailer has had them for a while or they have been exposed to higher humidities the paper will expand. Since the hole for the coin doesn&#039;t restrict the expansion the paper prefers to expand in that direction. This is usually the reason that the brand new folders which come directally from Whitman are awesome but the ones from the local hobby shop require a jack hammer and an anvil to get the coins in. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Man I hate compressed paper!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If you come across a coin folder that doesn&#039;t work well I would suggest increasing the size of the hole by rotating a relatively strong object that has a smooth cylindrical end on it aroung the edge of the hole. The end of a ball point pen does work but the pen usually breaks before I am done.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have recently used a pin punch with about a 1/4 inch diameter. As long as their are no burs you should be able to rub the punch around the outside edge with out damaging the book.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
