How to load a coin album

I'm often asked how to coin album page. This is actually a relatively simple process, but if you've never used a coin album may be a little confusing. This article describes how collected album pages, how they work and how they are loaded. There is also a link at the end of the article to a page with a short video so that you can see exactly how the process works instead of trying to present it.

Coin albums are similar to photo albums, so far as they are large books with thick spines and replacement pages. Centres of each page are rigid and is designed to keep coins and they may be removed or added to albums. Most albums have some predefined type of the collection of coins, as Lincoln cents 1909 to 2009, however, manufacturers also sell connecting and pages separately, so that you can create your own collections of album. Coin albums are usually considered bigger than the coin folders because they allow examination of the two sides having additional protection with thin and clear sheet of acetate.

Coin album pages are built as a five-layer sandwich. The top of the page, is usually washable cover. Under layer is clear acetate sheet, which is usually the width of the page, and half an inch or so larger than a coin opening. In the middle of the page is thick, coin and is usually the same card. In the middle layer is another acetate sheet, followed by the last fifth layer, which is another cover for the rear side of the page. Some pages will be printed with the title at the beginning and tags around each coin opening screen.

Trick to load album with coins is to recognise that the cover layers are not observed directly Center layer in all places. The cover layers are actually only joined in the left edge of the spine, top of page, bottom of the page and in the lines between the coin slots. This leaves a tunnel through the coin open from the right edge of the page to about 3/4 "from the left spine. Acetate sheets are kept of the location of these tunnels and slide completely on the right side edge of the page.

Now that you understand how it is constructed album page should imagine how coins are loaded into the page. First move the top layer of the acetate to the right so that comes from the right side edge of the page, but pledge to leave the lower acetate on the spot. Your coins into position and slide the upper acetate with coin and back into its original position. Now you can see that the bottom of the acetate sheet is carried out on the spot by the lower lid and upper acetate is stored in the location of the upper lid. Both acetates work together and to keep the coin on the spot and to protect it from contact with the fingers or other objects.
