<p>[QUOTE="JrCoin, post: 871876, member: 18390"]What coins are we talking about, going back to the 1900s?

You don't have to do oldest to newest, you could reverse and work from modern backwards. </p><p> </p><p>I think you should spring for the album that will make you happy ... removing coins from storage media and transfering them around alot amounts to circulation and will put wear on your coin, particularly if it's a younger person doing it. I wouldn't put alot of money into storing a fairly common collection though. </p><p> </p><p>Albums have a way of wearing out alot faster than the collection, particularly if you spend alot of time enjoying your hobby.
