Album Holders For Slabbed/Graded Coins? "Updated"
![MarkW63](https://us.v-cdn.net/6027503/uploads/userpics/DEAPXH8DI5SH/nOLCLZT59T3DY.jpg)
I've been working to complete a Lincoln Cent collection for a number of years and for the most part I've got where I could upgrade a few and keep up with additions of the newly released. My collection is built on ring binder 2" X2" coin flips, its just the way I started it out. The collection is in two pretty large albums BUT! now I'm getting the idea that the latest slabbed coins I may leave in the holders, I just bought the three 2019-W cents and two of those are slabbed, and my 55 DDO is still slabbed.
Is there some sort of album page sleeve that will accommodate these slabbed cases? I'm probably never going to have a lot of plastic house graded coins, but I'd like to keep the collection in the albums.
What's out there?? I'm torn over cracking the case on that 55 DDO I want the coin to take its dated position in the collection, but then again, its a $2,000 coin in a PCGS slab, one of the 2019-W's is a PCGS graded first strike, I'm getting second thoughts on cracking the cases on these.
Right now it looks like I've cracked the cases on 6 coin so far!

These are what I'm using for the Wedge-tailed Eagles in NCG/PCGS slabs. A bit pricey though for large series runs.

I have some encap slab holders, like this:

Edited to add: apparently the same encap slab holders that @Ebeneezer mentioned.![:smile: :smile:](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/smile.png)
Not only a bit spendy (but I got a deal on ebay), but they tend to bind when you put 6-7 of them into a wide 3-ring binder. That's not what is supposed to bind!
it is tough to catch everything posted here on the us forum obviously but i do recall a couple people posting full binders like yours but with ONLY slabbed coins in pages designed for them. pretty interesting.

I use a combination of these, Eagle brand slab pages, which can be found here-https://eaglecoinandcard.com/collections/certified-album or on ebay
Here's albums but you maybe they sell the pages individually if you contact them.

Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
I'm doubtful that I would ever need more than a single page 9 slab holder, I never ran across them before I didn't know they were called Encap holders, that will for sure give me some shopping idea. Boy this got super fast response with good information and excellent links.
This is great, I could use the extra spaces to store the cracked opened cases, I know they are considered WASTED now, but don't the road it will help me to know the ones that were SLABBED that I cracked and what it was graded at when I got it.

Now that's PURE eye candy right there! I don't every remember seeing or holding a real US Gold coin other than pictures.![:D :D](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/lol.png)
I've always dreamed of finding one metal detecting, but that's not happened either

Both have their advantages. The tray makes for an excellent display. The Eagle page allows for viewing of both sides of the slab without having to remove the slab from the page.
@koynekwest ... Those tray cases are really nice.... Have not seen them before. Cheers, RickO
Lighthouse sells single pages and they do fit in a regular 3-ring binder. You do want one that is one the large size, not the ones that are just a hair larger than the 8.5x11" page.

Thanks, ricko. They can be had here. They come in red, dark red, blue, and black.

Okay, I ordered a two pack of the Encap holders and I bit the bullet and bought another Reverse Proof PCGS graded so the Encap album sleeve will also give a place for my 55DDO.![<3 <3](https://forums.collectors.com/resources/emoji/heart.png)
When the album sleeves come in I'll update this thread to the outcome!
Thanks for everybody's input

Okay, I got the set of 2019-W Lincoln Cents in and I got the order in for the Encap holder and here is the outcome, I'm pleased with this direction, the 55DDO has a nice home as well.
This collection in total currently has 376 coin in it.
