<p>[QUOTE="Histman, post: 7729469, member: 75066"]<font size="3">So...After 40 years of collecting, I have decided that I have reached the end of my current US coin foray due to coins in the series I would have remaining (1/2 cents, 3-Cent, large cents, Standing Liberty Quarters, etc.) being too expensive to keep purchasing coin-by-coin. I can purchase them but then wouldn't have money to spend on other things needed for real life. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Therefore, I have branched out and decided to begin collecting foreign coins for the first time, like Canadian and Mexican. I have everything I collect in US coinage in Albums (CAPS, Whitman, Dansco) and would like to continue that with the foreign coins. Do any of you have any suggestions on albums -- not folders -- besides creating my own binder and inserting 2 x 2 flips? I have seen some Guardian Albums for Canadian Coins but it looks like you just put the coin in the plastic slot. If anyone uses that album, does it affect the coins (toning, etc.)? How about labeling? Are they already labeled or is that something you have to do yourself. Are there others albums out there I am just not seeing for this set of coins? Let's just start with Canadian coins and I can move on from there. I've seen some older Dansco and older Whitman, but they don't seem to come up to current coins. I really prefer albums that already label the coins.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font size="3">Foreign coin collectors, what are your suggestions?</font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated. </font></p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">Thanks!</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
