[QUOTE="coppercoins, post: 563787, member: 152"]I don't use albums at all. They are constraining, chemical laiden, allow slide damage to the coins, and are generally unattractive. I use 20 pocket pages and archival safe flips. I can move and switch around whatever I want, I can make the inserts say whatever I want them to say, and I don't have to collect something that someone else believes should be in my set. For instance, for Lincoln cents I would never buy an album that includes the 1922 'no D' cent as a 'part of the set' - because it's clearly not. It's a simple minor error that has gotten WAY out of hand, and most people have no idea that this 'missing mintmark' thing was a common anomaly during that era, and happened frequently.
