<p>[QUOTE=&quot;braincramp, post: 50950, member: 925&quot;]I think the best solution is avoid buying an album with all the holes marked, unless it exactly matches all the coins you have as an objective for your collection.&nbsp; You have to consider what constitutes a &quot;different&quot; coin in a series.&nbsp; Is it different because it has a different</p><p>1. date?</p><p>2. composition?</p><p>3. mintmark or mintmark location?</p><p>4. designer initials or initials location?</p><p>5. position or presence of devices (e.g., arrows, rays, stars)?</p><p>6. minor size or style differences in letters or numbers (e.g., large v. small date)?</p><p>7. strike type (e.g., business v. collector/proof/presentation)?</p><p>8. engraving errors or differences?</p><p>9. manufacturing errors or differences (e.g., overstrikes)?</p><p>etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words, what has to be different about a coin to deserve a separate album hole?&nbsp; My solution is to buy unmarked albums which enable easy shifting of coins around (air-tites in an air-tite album) and I can change my plan anytime I care to.&nbsp; It also displays my collection emphasizing what I have, rather than what I do not, and is far more satisfying.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
