Coin albums with the plastic slides

I used to have some coin albums quite a few years ago that had the plastic slides to see both sides of the coin, & I want to purchase a couple.

I see that Dansco albums are like that, but the ones I had where different. Anyone know of other albums that have the plastic slides? I don't like the danscos very much.

    Some whitman folders have sliding windows. Personally, I don' t like any sliding windows. I'm always deathly afraid of causing abrasions on coins.
  • Whitman, Littleton, Dansco, the new Intercept Shield and some Harris Albums. The Intercept shield albums are quite popular, but I wonder about expandability of current sets, such as the Kennedy Half where the album only goes through 2001. Does anyone have opinions on this?

    Just as an additional point of information, it's the Whitman Classic albums which have the slides. (Personally, I don't believe you can damage a coin with the slides; it just an old collector's tail.)

    Thanks for the links! The littleton ones seem nicest to me.

    I bet the albums I had in mind just aren't made anymore. They where a beige, or dark beige with a red spine I believe.
