<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 178422, member: 4552&quot;]I use the Whitman Classic Albums. Not necessarily due to a quality but mostly dueto availability. It appears that in the Midwest Whitman materials are more prevelant. Also, I just like the way coins stand out with a blue background. For some reason the Dasco Brown makes me think of OLD. Possibly a relationship with cars where brown cars used to always be associated with elderly people. Blue cars usually depect casual and red is associated with hot, young people. At coin shows lately Dansco Albums are becoming more common although at all coin stores in the area it is still Whitman. </p><p>However, back to the question. 2x2&#039;s can have the advantage of being able to write things on the 2x2 such as date, year purchased, cost, etc whereas in an album that is not normally done. Albums look better for show but if you are not going to display your coins, then putting them in 2x2&#039;s may be advantageous. Once a coin is put into a 2x2 the chances of injury to the coin is far less than in an album. Hoever, contray to that I once ran a screwdriver across the face of a coin in a 2x2 trying to remove the staples.&nbsp; Plastic pages of notebook size with 3 ringed binder holes can be purchased for the 2x2&#039;s and then put into a 3 ringed binder. The pages can be arranged to be the same as an album and the pages can be added and removed a lot more simply than a Whitman, Dansco, Littleton, etc Album. With this system you do not have to worry about some manufacturer telling you what coin goes where. I basically use both systems and a few others. </p><p>The choice is yours. Good luck.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
