Mexico 20 Centavos - album hole size?

These copper coins are 28.5 mm in diameter, unfortunately no special coin album was ever made for them. I've seen blank Dansco album pages that fit 28mm coins and 29mm coins. Which size would you recommend getting, since this one is right in between? Not sure how hard it would be to squeeze in, a half millimeter doesn't seem like a big deal.

    I would go with 28 and buy it from a source that will allow returns if the fit size is too snug!

    I recommend neither: too tight vs. too loose; 0.5mm = 0.0127 inches. Instead, Dansco has an album with 2x2 pages, 12 to a page. Then coins go into 2x2 cardboard or mylar flips then into the page. Allows you to add any varieties.

    I use air tights for the ones I have.
