<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2827090, member: 66&quot;]Depending on the album/series that may not be possible/help.&nbsp; If you have a series that overlaps the period when they switched for open to close collar, or the series is of open collar coins the holes CAN&#039;T match the coins.&nbsp; In the open collar coins every coin is a different size&nbsp; how do you make an album with holes for that?&nbsp; Typically what they do is get an average size and make them for that.&nbsp; That means most coins will either be too large or too small for the hole.&nbsp; For the 7070 the Coronet Large cent covers from 1816 to 1839. Before 1836 they are open collar, 1836 to 39 they a close collar and all the same size.&nbsp; Since they don&#039;t know what date you will put in there they make it the average size for the open collar.&nbsp; If you put in a 1836 or later it going to rattle around.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing some people do is cut shims out of an old page window plastic, or from a non-pvc currency holder.&nbsp; The shims are inert and clear.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for when the holes are too small, some people with use a coin that is just slightly larger than the hole, insert it perpendicular tot he page and then use it as a ream to gently enlarge the hole.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
