Lighthouse Grande Album (Alternative Coin Storage)

Peace_dollar88

I have been using Lighthouse Grande albums for graded coin storage for some time. I find it has been a great way to showcase my collection. Does anyone else use these albums. Would love to see what people have. . .

I use the Lighthouse pages but not the actual binder to house them.

I have an album like that I would gladly give away(no coins) to someone if they paid shipping.

Pretty cool, never seen one, thanks. It looks to be up to 3" tall and has some heft when full, I'd imagine?

I do have a couple of those cases w/felt linings...

I don't have one but but I like it. A great way to show your slabbed coins.

I use the pages, however I put them and flip pages in notebooks that zip closed.

I used to use them, and had four of them. I switched over to the Lighthouse Intercept Slab Box designed to hold 50 slabs PCGS, NGC, etc.) but they really hold about 60 slabs each. I like the Intercept Shield concept for storage.

I brought these four handsome Lighthouse Grande binders (six page - 54 slabs held) to my last coin club meeting to sell. They retail for $79.95 each, but were often sold for about $59 each new. I offered all four for $65, and no one was interested, since most collectors of graded coins today use the 20 coin PCGS plastic boxes. At the end of the night a guy offered me $50, and I accepted.

Here is a photo of Lighthouse Intercept boxes I now use:

I have approximately a dozen of the Lighthouse grande albums and maybe 6 of the smaller albums.
I find that I can squeeze 7 slab pages into the grande albums so I have 63 slabs per album instead of the normal 54 count.
I have 6 grande albums just for holding my Master Kennedy 1964 to Present coin set which contains around 370 slabed coins.
The only drawback to these albums is the cost of the individual pages.
One page can equal the cost of one Pcgs, 20 coin storage box.
I was fortunate enough to buy both the pages and boxes years ago at the $1-$2 range.
I do like them a lot along with the ability to see the coins when you flip the pages which you can not do when they are in a storage box.
A full album weighs a lot with the Kennedy halves and even more so with the ASE coins.
Does anybody know why the album that you want to get out to add or view a coin, is always in the bottom row of the stack in the safe? lol

Can someone please comment on whether the clear plastic pages mar or scratch the slabs?
Many years ago, Eagle made the pages, but the plastic was hard enough such that I had slabs with 'rub' and scratches. Had to reholder quite a few pieces. I swore never again, but I understand that products are improved over time.
