<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgan, post: 74726, member: 3630&quot;]It may just be me, and it probably is, but I believe that Dnasco and Whitman albums are for the most part crappy looking.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Why would a collector want to display his prized colplete collection in a compressed paper coin book which in most cases looks like it was made in the sixties.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>How come someone hasen&#039;t come out with something better. I&#039;d like to see airtite come out with a book trimmed with black velvet which has openings for the airtites to be pressed into. This would keep the coins from being marred up and would provide a better display. IMO as always.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have been considering how I would make the pages and I was wondering if anyone had a sugestion or knew of a better book.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As far as my idea I was thinking of taking 1/4&quot; masonite and using mortising bits or hole cutters to drill out holes which are about 1/4&quot; larger than the diameter of the associated airtite. I would then pad the page with thin dense foam, probably 1/8&quot; thick, on both sides. I would then wrap the pages in velvet or felt and cut out the holes. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was thinking that a plastic ring which was slightly larger than the airtite could be mounted into the hole much the same way an airtite is closed. I would then have the ring include a rubber O-ring around each side. The O-ring would be there to allow for insertion and retention of the airtite. I would then cap the page in a boarder of oak or maple. In fact this could be a customization option in which people could order the type of border they wanted.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway the pages could be drilled with a series of holes for collecting dimes pennies nickles and quarters. The same can be said for halfs and dollars. I would be easy at this point to then mix and match according to likes or required spaces needed for common sets. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I even invision placing two drilled holes below the main opening which would allow the placement of a brass label plate which could have the year and mint mark as well the mintages. Mabey have the year on one side and the mintage on the other. For year sets the label would also include the denomination and mabey the compisition.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I realize these pages would not be the size of a standard book. I do think they could be smaller than a newspaper page. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyway this is my idea. Anyone have suggestions?&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would think Airtite would love a book of this sort. N E thing to increase sales.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
