<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 87320, member: 4552&quot;]As a person that has been collecting coins for over 50 years it really hurts to hear people talking about using those push in type holders for coin collecting. If your doing it for a kid for the future you all may want to realize if the kid becomes a coin collector they will want to constantly improve the quality of each coin. Puting coins in and out of those type of albums will eventually distroy the album anyway. Enlarging the slots will eventually make the coins just fall out. I&#039;ve gone through all this over the years and only wish an adult with some coin collecting smarts would have educated me in the proper handling of coins when I was a kid. Many of the silver coins from back then now have a permanent finger print on the face from pushing in with my thumb. It should be remebered that a thumb print constains acids and oils and dirt that will eventually ruin a coin. The Whitman Classic, Dansco and other companies make albums that are a little more expensive but have plastic on both sides of the coins, are easily inserted, usually can have pages added, protect the coin better and just as easily pruchased.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
