Kennedy Halves question

I have been bitten by the Kennedy Half Dollar "bug". (Thank Russ for all the great pics you post)
I want to collect a nice raw set but would like input on what folder would be best to use? Intercept Shield ? ... ?

Thanks,

    I like DANSCO, but don't be sliding the plastic slides in and out too much... they hairline the portrait rather easily.

    My raw Kennedy collection is in a Dansco album. It is the business strike only album. I would not put proofs in Dansco because of the sliding action but for MS examples it works fine.

    Doug,

    The Intercept Shield albums have been problematic for me. The facing on the pages comes loose letting the the plastic slides drift and the coins fall together in a lump when you flip the page. The best album I've ever used is the new Eagle Ultra. The pages are hard plastic, not paper, and there are only slides on one side. The coin pocket is recessed, so the slides are less likely to touch the coin when you open or close them. JMO
