So they do... so they do...

I agree with you samjimmy,about the "loose change" thing so what I have done is to buy Whitman 2x2's with inserts.They're made for all sizes of US coins and will accomodate most ancients as well.Then,I bought some 12-pocket loose leaf pages and a zip up (large) binder from Staples and voila!

 

I'm looking at all the airtites (and albums). Seems more complicated than the 2x2 carboard flips heh, but I got the hang of it. So many mm's -and direct vs ring fit. Since the size of the case is the same (A for example), I'm guessing that instead of a foam ring, there's just clear plastic on the direct fits ones, and it's clear enough on the sides to see things like edge lettering?

What I mean is...

Airtite direct fit: Model A 10-19mm - so instead of a foam ring, it's just clear plastic to go from 10-19mm sizing?

I like the foam look, but for some coins, I couldn't do it (like ones with edge lettering). Not sure how it would look mixed, nor if I'd get one of those ~$15 albums (and then have to figure out which pages to get -as my collection is like swiss cheese).

I'm trying to plot what to do with my most recent purchase... 1794 Liberty Cap Large Cent Lettered Edge. I haven't gotten it yet, and since I don't go to coin shows I've never seen one, so I can't wait.

Sorry, it's just been a fun couple weeks. Before that I got a 1851 Type 1 Gold Dollar and a 1853 Half Dime. Damn those are good. I'm developing a taste for small coins. Speaking of which... what is this?

 

that is an electrum 1/4 stater from celtic Gaul,Remi tribe...lol
This one has the diameter of a #2 pencil eraser.
Here's a closeup next to one of my smallest,and oldest, coin.
Sorry,this should be in another forum probably.

 

What about those Unisafe albums that have slots specifically catering to the denomination for either Canadian coins (blue album) or American coins (black album)? Are those safe for my coins? Not sure about their composition.
