Coin Book/

[+Us 4 and Jess]

While we were in Harrogate I noticed lots of people had books/files for their GeoCoins

 

Does anyone know where I could get just a small book or even just one of the plastic pages with the pouches that are in the files.

 

I only have about 15/20 coins I just wanted something to put them in to look nice rather than just throwing them in my computer desk drawer

You can get them from some of the USA coin sellers, but if you google "coin storage" you'll get several links to UK suppliers. It's possible that larger branches of W H Smiths might sell coin albums.

I have Real Leather Geocoin Display Jackets for my coins, but I only have three!

 

(Just be careful of the stickybacked plastic, and get an adult to supervise you when you use sharp scissors! )

Even one of those plastic sheets that hold 20 coins would do me £2.08 on fleabay but in America

 

Where would I get one of those in UK ?

 

I like those leather ones they nice but I want them all in one place kinda thing

Maybe there's a coin freak collector out there that gets the pages by the dozen, that will "do a deal" with you...

See whose around tomorrow.

Ive just ordered one of these Mandy....... http://www.thecachingplace.com/shop/pc/vie...p;idproduct=245

Wish you had of said 2days ago......could of gone halfs on the shipping

[+dibbler69]

I got mine from W H Smiths. It was on a couple of quid.

Fits it a lever arch file.

[+Jonovich]

If you put them all together in a big folder they'll be too bulky to fit in most cache containers.

WH Smith or Staples.

I used trading card collecting pages, they are easily found from Pokemon/Uh Gi Oh card sites. They have nine pockets in each A4 page and fit into a ring binder. They also have bound albums A5 size. (each pocket is 2 1/2" x 3 1/2")

I think our local comic shop sells them for 25p a page.

 

If you intend leaving the coins in you can sew along the top of each pocket with a sewing machine to seal them or use double sided sticky tape between the pocket openings.

 

You could get craft foam and cut circles out for the coins to fit into.

 

I went to buy the proper folders online after seeing The Moor We Hunt's collection but the shipping was the same price as the folder.

 

Edited to add this is the site I have used before, they usually deliver in a couple of days.

You could also use the sheets for holding 35mm slides. They also fit in an A4 ring binder.

Hey, I just realised:

 

You could try posting this question on the Geocoin forum

[wolfshead57]

Corbitts in Newcastle Mandy, they specialise in Stamps, Coins and Medals dont know how much they would charge though. They were reasonable when i wanted medals mounted so give them a ring see what they can do for you.

 

Numbers in the book

I love my coins and dont take them to events so I have them in a picture frame which is perspex on both sides.

That way I can have them "on display" at home cos I think they are so attractive, and I can turn them round to show the other side for a change!!

It also helps to "convince" my non-caching husband that they are not a "waste of money" rather that they are "art"

I did think about that, but changed my mind

 

I can get in enough trouble here

 

Thanks for all the info folks

Hi Mandy

 

I know of a coin shop in Hartlepool that sells such pages don't know if that close to you or not but they also attend a couple of markets in the area too.

 

search for company called "Coinote.co.uk" they should be able to help you i'd hazard a guess that you'd be needing the 20 coins to a page sheets these are larger than A4 and can fit in normal A4 binders, cost about £6 for 10 pages i have bought individual pages from him at market stall.

 

link is : - http://www.coinote.co.uk/worldcoin/accessories.html and code is ZE1

 

hope this is of some help?

I'm going to have a look at the stamp dealers shops in London tomorrow.

As I suspect they deal with coins too.

I'll let you know how I get on.

[+currykev]

A possible option may be Business card holders/binders..this looks good.

This should be right up your street......Penguin....

I like that

 

A few ideas, wont need to get supervision to use sicky backed plastic and sharp scissors now

[+currykev]

Sorry to advertise ...but I just popped over to Rymans and looked at a Collins Business card binder costing £9.99 which would hold plenty of coins.About the size of a filo-fax...remember them?

So I'm going to measure my largest coin tonight as Business cards are 2 x 3.4 inches I believe.

So I may not stomp about the stamp shops tomorrow.

Off for a ride to the Metro Centre now, will let you know how I get on later

What a good idea! My coins are here there and everywhere and I get worried when taking to events as I've seen a coin or two being mis placed but if I can keep mine all in one place I would be happier that they weren't going to go walkies! Will have to look out for a nice one of these!

[+wheelybarrow]

The ones from WHSm**h are good as they have seperate little bits that slide out so it means that your coins are nice and safe and won't fall out. The large size does most coins. Can recommend them.

[+Us 4 and Jess]

I have managed to get a book very similar to the one in currykev's picture

 

The one I have bought is 4 business cards high and in a faux leather cover.

 

It will hold 48 geocoins although I dont have that many ............yet

 

I have slipped the coins in and stapled the ends to stop them from slipping out, it actually looks OK, will definitely do for what I want

 

Oh and it was £4.99 from Staples.

 

Thanks for all your help folks

Hey Mandy so glad you managed to buy yourself a neat holder for your coins and as others have tried the Business Card Holders i thought that i would store that in my grey cells until i needed a better storage for my coins. WELL..... erm i had been caching today and i managed to pick up a coin on my travels and i still had it in my pocket when i went to try and see if Black's had one of them new fangled Garmin geocoins at their store on monks cross in York. Well i didn't have any luck in obtaining a coin so i thought i'd go do some retail therapy at the store that likes to give "More for you for less" starts to sing the jangle... and slaps my right hand on my a** pocket... you know the store i mean.... Associated D****** (edited out so that i cannot be blamed for advertising) well as i was wandering around the store cussing b'cos i didnt get a Garmin geocoin i stumbled across a Business Card holder, the holder i got isn't faux leather or one of them fancy London Stamp shops coin holders but a cheaper version thats 4 cards high and holds 200 cards so they say (100 doubled to a pocket). I'd say you could safely hold 100 coins in them, they are plastic/nylon in construction and the price is good too, they're £2.47, so i thought i'd follow up your original thread here with this story incase someone else wanted to try them for holding coins.

 

Feeling much better now i have put my coins away and wonder if i should perhaps go back to Blacks on friday?
