Littleton Custom Coin Albums?

carl

A few weeks ago I bought a Lincoln coin book, about 15 coins missing, at a flea market. Never heard of the manufacturer of the book before. It said Littleton Custom Coin Album inside front cover. I went to their web site and was amazed at all the stuff theya appear to be involved in with coin collecting and I never heard of them. All my loose coin have always been put into Witman blue coin folders or plastic rolls since I was a kid many years ago. I've been a coin collector for abaout 50 years and never heard of Littleton before. Anyone out there use their folders? Anyone ever buy anything from them? Anyone heard anything about this company before? Have they been around for awhile and I'm just not aware of what's going on? The folders appear to be very well made, havae easy removable pages due to thethree ring binder setup but are bulky and would take up much more room than a Witman folder. Prices on the web site are about the same as Witman's prices. I've never seen these at coin dealers or coin shows.

there is plenty on the boards about them

littleton sells on approval to beginning/nieve collectors

they sell at 2-3 times value

many consider them to be like coin vault

they do have nice albums but only sold by them vs whitman who sells through dealers and not involved with coin sales

I've used their approval service a couple of times and I agree with sinin1 on the prices most of the time. Every now and then I 've run across a coin that's decent priced but it's been small stuff. The best was a 1909 VDB.

As far as their folders go I have a Sacagawea 2000-2004 that I've filled (thanks to a forum member) and I really like the looks of them. I'll I'll probably buy more of their folders but that's about it.
