I need your opinion: which album should I use for my low grade, circulated Washington quarter set?

My Whitman Classic album's cover ripped off. I ordered two different albums as possible replacements, a Library of Coins and a Whitman Bookshelf. I plan to put my existing coins in one and use the other to start an uncirculated set. I am considering the Library of Coins for the Unc because of possible album toning benefits, but I am unsure if that is a good deciding factor. So, which album should I use for my existing circulated quarters. Thanks!
Edited to add: In response to the first two responses suggesting a Dansco, I chose these albums specifically because they were both 1932-1964 only. I am not sure that Dansco offers that?

I prefer Dansco albums.

You may also consider Dansco albums
JMO: I like both the old Bookshelf and the Library of Coins albums. For the lowball set, I would go with the Bookshelf album. The Library of Coins book will be nice for the Unc set.
I feel that library of coin albums just look like an album with circulated coins in it.
Dansco. You can also add pages for duplicate nice circ ones.

I guess I should have added Dansco as an option.
Since you already have the Whitman and Library of Coins albums just use those. They work just fine and don't require you to spend any more money on albums.
I prefer dansco as well but if its going on a shelf then either or
Either is fine. I also put a little red dot stick on by the date / mint printing for coins that are "expensive" in case a jet engine falls on me, my kids will know which ones to take a little extra time on.
I would go with the Dansco.
Dansco
I can't vote since my preferred albums aren't on your list..
In order of my preference:
(1) Intercept (When I can find them)
(2) Littleton
(3) Whitman
(4) Dansco (if all else fails - I just don't like the XXXXX brown color)
Well, I don't think I did a very good job setting up this poll.
I think the UNC set would look better in Blue. That's why I voted to put the circ set in the LOC books.
Dimeman: The Bookshelf albumn is what I used for my ms-63 to ms65 set of Washies. They look great with a blue background. I still have that complete set along with a ms-64 to ms 67 slabbed set. The album set is easier and more enjoble to view.
Looks like you really like the Washies.......having a circ set and a UNC raw set and the UNC slab set!
You should try to find set of old blue color Capitol Plastic holders...JMHO.

I gave the first complete set I put together of circulated Washies in the old blue Whitman folders-viewed on one side-to my nephew years ago when he was about ten years old. He loved showing the 'ancient' quarters made in the 'olden days in the show and tell the had at his school. His interest has waned when the testosterone started flowing, though he still has the set.
cool set

My Toned Lincoln Registry Set
I am partial to the old Whitman Bookshelf albums, I would put the UNCs in that and the circulated coins in the LOC album.

I think silver looks great against the blue.
Where can you get these albums 1932 to 1964 only?
Can you get them new or are they no longer made?
