Generic Morgan Dollar Album question

Morgan13Morgan13 Posts: 1,350 ✭✭✭✭✭

I've been looking for an album to store some of my raw coins in. I really have OCD about putting as an example and 1878 in an 1881 slot.
Does a decent quality album exist?

    Dansco has blank pages with no dates

    Look at the Dansco albums 7171 or 7178 and 7179. Depends if you want one per date or a complete set .

    I ask the question then find the answer on my own.
    Sorry but maybe this will help someone else.
    Dansco 7177 right?
    I assume that's the best option.
    Any other suggestions?

    Thank you for your help.
    I want one with no date. I collect the best coins I can find for certain dates. Example 1921 PL or semi-PL. I buy them if they have a nice PL obverse or reverse. A lot of the time they are one sided.

    I went this route for a date set with blank pages for my raw Morgans. It’s an old Wayte Raymond album and blank silver dollar pages. You have to dig a little to find them, but Vintage unused binders and pages are still available and they make a set of generic common date/mintmark coins look cooler

    If you don't want slabs, these use capsules for protection...

    Those are way better than Wayte Raymond albums and even Dansco’s if protection of the coins is your goal. I have to go through great lengths to avoid humidity fluctuations for my Wayte Raymond albums to prevent damage. I don’t mind slow mild toning, but in high humidity Wayte Raymond’s can make terminal corrosion happen and Dansco’s too to a lesser extent. But it’s still worth it to me, something about having Vintage coins in Vintage albums has a strong appeal to me, even if I have to control humidity where I keep them. But I am using a Caps Album for my MS toned raw Civil War Token Collection, and use intercept shield/desiccant products to keep my slabbed coins from changing because I want to keep the blast white ones white and I want my nicely toned ones to stay as they are and not continue down the path to terminal toning.

    That's what many of them are in. I use intercept on easels.
    I think there boring though. I have a display in a curio cabinet.
    I also want an album.
    Love the Wayte Ramond book. I'm patient. I'll try to locate on of them.
