Badthad I regret I didnt buy that 31S you sold in here last time per about $100 , just to give a idea about my dealer he sell one in way lower grade per $140 . Still waiting for another to show up in here and this time I wont think much because these goes to fast !..
Sorry you missed the deal. Unfortunately, I won't be selling many coins here anymore. Since the new format went into effect it's just too cumbersome for me to list multiple coins. I've had a bunch of coins sitting in the FS section for about 3 weeks now with few buyers, it seems the buyers have disappeared too. Guess I'll be forced to sell what I have left on ebay.  |

Dansco albums are known for fogging up proof coins and turning red copper ugly. Be warned. So if Dansco albums do this, why does everyone use them. So what should I use for my Lincolns? |

I have all of my Lincoln Proofs in my Dansco album. I have zero problems with them. I have said it before, and I will say it again and again, keep your albums in the right environment and you should have no problems with your coins. |

Well, "everyone" doesn't use them - I don't. I know a lot of people do, but I stopped after finding coins with problems caused by the albums in about half a dozen sets I bought, along with problems in a set I hand picked and put together in what was supposed to be a top quality Dansco. I ended up replacing about half a set once at a large cost, and stuck them in 2x2 archival safe flips...and have had them there ever since.
There is some chance that a Dansco will not hurt the coins, but I will never take that chance again, and would advise to never listen to anyone who says Dansco albums are "just fine" - they have no clue how many coins those albums have ruined.

1957 proof ( rainbow toning)
1960 LD proof
1961 proof
1962 proof
1963 proof
1964 proof
1969 S proof
1970 S LD proof
1971 S proof
1972 S proof
1973 S proof
1974 S proof

Nice lookin set penny man! And dont listen to just carl....Dansco albums are the best!
Agreed they are constructed a little more with quality than most of the other brands. HOWEVER, I still think brown coins in a brown holder just doesn't look great. One main thing I do like about Whitman is the color. A brownish coin stands out due to contrast. I've never had Dansco Albums for a long time so can not say what coppercoins says is true or not but if he had problems with them, one more reason I'll stick to MOSTLY Whitman. I do say mostly since I get all my Albums free so can't be to choosy sometimes. All in all, every Album of mine are in Zip Lock Plastic Bags. All #1 sets are in double Zip Lock Bags just to make sure. |

It's looking good! I only need 30 to complete my Whitman albums. I love the looks of the Dansco albums. I might have to get me a set.
EDIT:
Hey penny man, when I get enough posts and such and a allowed to trade then maybe I can help you? I have a few of the ones you need. I only need mostly very common ones but sort of hard to come by anymore especially the 2011 D & S of Varieties 1, 2 & 3. (out of circulation anyway)
I filled my books from just looking through pocket change and the occasional penny rolls from the bank. Done that for over 20 years! -Jay

After pouring over this thread I have decided to just stick with the Whitman albums I have now. I guess it dosent matter much as all mine are in the condition range of G4+/- ~ F 12+/- so not much in the way of proofs there or much of anything before 1941 with any kind of luster to protect. I think I'll just leave well enough alone for now. Thank you for all the info!

So far all my sets are in Whitman Classic Albums and in doubled Zip Lock Bags. And this includes what I call my #1 sets. For example this:  Taken from my set #1 and all coins are like this and so far they all look great after many, many years. No toning, tarnishing, corroding, staining, etc. Just the way they always were. |
