[QUOTE="ratio411, post: 1132029, member: 26729"]That's a good idea if you don't mind labeling the pages for each coin yourself, or not having the pages labeled at all. The only thing I don't like about albums is that the manufacturers tend to put in or leave out coins on a seemingly random basis. Like the Lincoln albums have a hole for a 1922 plain cent, but it really is more of an error (or substandard coin) than a variety that belongs in everyone's album. Then they have holes for all versions of the 1982, which is awesome, no complaints, but then the 2009 versions don't have holes for zinc AND copper like the 1982. These are just a couple of examples that I see as inconsistent, they run through all the albums, all manufacturers, and all denominations... Little things that make you think "why did they put a hole for THAT?" or "where is the hole for this one?". [B]Edit:[/B] I have seen kits with hundreds of little date and mint mark decals that you can use to label your own blank pages, but I forgot where to get them and wonder if they have enough pieces to do a book the way that I would want it labeled. There are also little electronic label makers that may print out small enough, but I haven't checked into it (thought about it though).[/QUOTE]
