[QUOTE="Paddy54, post: 2169402, member: 19250"]Doug, yes this is the system I use on my raw Jefferson nickels all MS&PR. JWT708 is whom said something about vcoin.com . I've honestly never have head of them. As for the kointains yes it can be an issue getting the bottom or reverse one off. A fingernail works for me. One issue is I do find some of the bottoms are tighter fits. Or maybe it's the rims on the newer nickels. I use this system as the Jefferson series has so many coins in the set. I no longer add the newer coins as I can't stand the obv. Look! The design is horrible . So my set stops at 2005. One reason I do like the kointains is the feel in hand. It's more natural feel to me than other holders. To me it's more like holding a raw coin then one sealed in plastic . As to the binders no I have not found one at this time that is guaranteed not to cause damage from the material it's made of. The two I am using have never caused any issues with my coins. I can remember as a kid going from coin boards to Whitman books. I recall how cool it was when they came out with the albums with the windows to see both sides. I will have to admit "personality " I have not found the perfect system . Not one that really does it for me. It seems each system and even the new ones always lead to another item to store the system in. Funny thing is a many time I've thought about what I would like in a system to store my coins. This one I'm using seems to work best for my needs. As to my nickels....but will admit I'm not a huge album fan. What I really would love is an old library card file now a days "huge money" to catalog and store my collection in. That way I could store the coin,plus a write up on each item. But I'm always open to suggestions from others on something new,that don't require other components to seal the deal.[/QUOTE]
