    Hi all,

    Anyone found a quality album capable of securely holding coins ranging in size from half crowns up to and including euro crowns without 2x2's, airtites, or anything else?

    If not, anything for just euro crown size?

    Cheers

    Lighthouse do some nice albums.

    Most of the people I know put their decent coins in cardboard 2x2s and protect them that way.

    Anything else runs the risk of sliding out of the pages, especially when you turn them.

    The Numis range though would probably be your best bet if you want a variety of sizes on one page and no 2x2s.

    I haven't bought from the company as I find it cheaper to buy from Germany and get it shipped over.

    cheers JL. I have seen those lighthouse pages, but they aren't A4 are they? I detest having non-ISO sized ring folders in Australia!

    Personally I do not like 2x2's. They are tacky, particularly with staples, and I like to be able to get the coin out and fondle it (these aren't numi quality UNC etc)

    No, they are not A4 which is why I only have one of them, sitting half empty. They are way too small!

    The system is a good one though, the way the coins are held in there, but not designed for frequent fondlers!
