Question about Eagle certified type coin album...

I haven't been able to find a decent image or explanation anywhere, so please forgive me if this has been discussed...

I'm thinking about picking up a certified coin album from Eagle for a type set. I'm wondering what distinguishes the type album from say, the Peace dollar album? Are the slots labeled for the coin intended for each spot, or is the only difference the binder that it's in with generic pages? Anyone know?

Anyone got a decent picture or two of what the coins look like inside these albums?

    The size of the binder (thickness) and the number of pages is the difference.

    No.

    Not really a decent picture, but it's all I have in my archives.

    I like em a lot. I store my type set in one.

  • There is a custom insert page for each series which goes into a plastic panel on the inside front of the album.

    The album is really not different from a generic D-ring one but it will be thick enough to hold the proper number of pages.

    The pages are all the same (9 slabs per page) and are not marked.

    I use one of these for my type set collection and print labels to put on each slot using Avery labels (30 per sheet) and MS Word templates.
