New to form - question about coin albums

Hello:
I'm new to the forum. I've been collecting circulated pennies since I had my paper route 30 years ago. It started with the lincoln cents, went to indians, then large cents. Over the years there would be periods of more or less interest and every once in a while I would buy a couple , usually in G-VG, never damaged or real bad. There are still some holes to fill but I'm noticing some are worth much more than the pocket change I started with! So here's my question:

My cents are all in old blue Whitman Bookshelf albums and I've been reading that this is not a good place for long term storage. I want to keep them in albums. Can anyone suggest good albums for long term storage? Intercept shield's description sounds like it is good for the long term but does not offer large cents, I would like albums for lincoln, indian and large.

Thanks!
Dave

    I use exclusively Dansco albums. They are pricey and may be worth what you put in them, not knowing what collection you're going to use them for.......excellent for the long term.....Rick

    Or, get some Capital plastic boards!

    We have great prices on Intercept Shield albums if you decide to go that route. Unfortunately, as you note, they do not currently make a Large Cent album. They are gradually expanding the product line so it never hurts to give them your input on what you'd like to see.
