At this point I think that perhaps they are waiting until 2100 to release the updated 7070 (19th, 20th, and 21st century type set). They have been saying "coming soon" since 2012 (shrug).
I would love to get a type set going in a Dansco to match the rest of my collection.

Does anyone here know any people at Dansco that can shed some light on when the new one will be released? It seems that with all of the numismatic experience here, someone ought to know something.  Edited by The Silver Searcher

Everyone needs to call and/or write them: Dansco Corporation (323) 734-6373 4313 W Jefferson Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90016 Maybe they will get the hint.  |

I want one and have been tempted to overpay. I've been checking all LCS in area for a used one as well. The reason why I haven't pulled the trigger is because I'm scared that with my luck dansco will release the new and improved after I drop 2-4x the price on a second hand 25 year old version.
Maybe if dansco won't release a new one, we could convince them to make custom made CCF 7070 version. I'm sure they'd go for that....... End of dream

I called because I figured why not. I got a machine saying that they would be closed until January 5th. I guess they don't get a lot of phone calls to warrant updating their machine?

I would rather see Dansco do one for a 20th century and beyond type set. I would like to see them incorporate some of the newer varieties ( ATB quarter, westward journey, 2009 lincolns, etc) but I don't want to have everything in the current 7070 PLUS all of those new varieties, it would get to be too large and would have too many pages. I like the current 7070 as it is now, so I just want one for the more recent century going forward. As a matter of fact I have the Whitman 20th and 21st centry type album and I really enjoyed filling it. I don't like how it is the only non-Dansco album I have, but I like the content and had fun filling it. Plus, I would think a Dansco 20th/21st century album would engage newer and/or younger coin collectors more due to most of the coins being more affordable and a portion of them can be found in circulation.

Don't worry, Dansco will respond to the need if they see it.
Patience on the part of the collector is needed.
Use 2x2's in polypropylene or Mylar album pages as temporary storage.

I have talked with Dansco reps myself over the years,
while not on this particular subject. I will say that
I got the impression that they were very, how should I
put it... unmotivated... maybe? They didn't seem to put
much effort into the album side of their business. They
are a printing and binding company, and I am pretty sure
they do far more than just coin albums and folders. Our
portion of their products is probably very small. I
don't know for sure, but that's the impression I got.

I think your impression is correct. Dansco is in at least its second, if not third generation of ownership. Focus changes over time, and changes most when the baton is passed to a younger team.
It would be great if Whitman bought the rights to the Dansco line of coin albums. They could handle the design, marketing, distribution, and customer service end, while contracting the manufacturing to Dansco.

I have said this before (probably earlier in this thread.) Dansco makes corporate binders of all sorts. If I am Microsoft, every time I release a quarterly report, annual report or special presentation, I order specially embossed binders for my execs and important share holders.
Show of hands, how many of you who have 7070s plan to buy another one when yours is full ? Or how many who want one plan to buy 2, one for common grades and one for MS grades ?
Now tell me who's business is more important to Dansco ?

Exactly. Which is why I would like Whitman (or someone) to take over the line. They then become that recurring customer. Dansco has to hate allocating resources just to determine the specifics for what is really a niche market. Remove that requirement and they can focus on manufacturing the actual product.

I'd like to see a revamped album that ends at the silver era and which doesn't include the silver Eagle. Also I think that commemoratives should not be included. I guess I'm a fan of keeping business strikes separate from special issues.
A second album could deal with everything post silver - call it Dansco 7070A if you will.
I'd also like to shout from the rooftops - BRING BACK CANADIAN TYPE ALBUMS!
