<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1178751, member: 5233&quot;]So, I&#039;m in the process of organizing part of my foreign coin collection...specifically my German coins.&nbsp; I&#039;m trying to put together a collection of circulation coins from a certain era and I haven&#039;t found a commercially made organization system...so I thought I would make one myself.</p><p><br /></p><p>My initial thought was Intercept Shield 2x2s in pages, but they don&#039;t make them for the right sizes.&nbsp; My next thought was to put the coins in AirTites.&nbsp; The coins range from 17mm-29mm in diameter.&nbsp; That would mean I would need to use Model A Airtites (Outside Diameter: 30.93mm, Depth: 1.57mm), Model T (Outside Diameter: 36.49mm, Depth: 2.03mm) and Model H (Outside Diameter: 44.45mm, Depth: 3.17mm).</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, ideally...I would find some kind of unlabeled album (like a Dansco or something comparable) that could fit the airtites.&nbsp; I would then label each shot and insert the coin.&nbsp; I have no idea if such a thing exists.&nbsp; Does anyone know of an album designed to hold airtites.</p><p><br /></p><p>One other problem I have is the size of the coins.&nbsp; One type of coin in the series is 17.5mm in diameter.&nbsp; I have no idea if the foam inside a 17mm airtites would flex enough to accomidate such a coin.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Also, this set once completed will be fairly large.&nbsp; So, however I organize the coins it has to be able to handle that.&nbsp; I am willing to use several books if needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>What I want to avoid is putting all the coins in 2x2 flips.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think they protect the coins and I think it looks bad.&nbsp; I want to be able to label each coin with date, MM, and mintage.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any suggestions or ideas?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
