I wish I could have sent you many more but those people that took them to you may have complained about excessive weight. Maybe next time.


I know that. Thanks Carl and I really wish we can do this again as I still need another four, but this would need another two trips from USA to Egypt

My first two Dansco albums were bought at the same time in December 1984, the Eisenhower dollar and Kennedy half dollar albums. My Grandfather bought them for me when I was visiting for Christmas. I also got my Lincoln Cent album later that week.

I'll look into those flat rate boxes at the post office.
Don't have to many right now though. My next coin show where I usually get them is the second week in Feb. At a coin show last Sunday I only got one Whitman and one Littleton Album.

I have three Dansco albums, all acquired within the past year.
The first was a partly filled Lincoln Penny album bought at an estate auction. I liked the look of the book, and when the forum chatter was heavy with 7070 discussion, I decided to grab the cheapest one of those I could find on ebay, mostly just to organize some scattered pieces idling in cigar boxes. Now that challenging type display book has become somewhat of an obsession, with thirteen holes left to fill (not counting gold).
My third was the ASE album, which I bought on a silver dip from my local bullion source, completely filled up through 2011. He charged for the coins and tossed the album in for free.
Not sure how many more of these 'brownies' I will acquire, because, well. . .

And the rest of my modest USA collection is housed in Whitmans. Plus I prefer the blue, which i-m-o looks better with silver coins.
I will probably search out the albums Dansco makes that Whitman does not, such as for Australia and Great Britain. These do seem to show up rather infrequently on ebay, but usually are too pricey for my budget.

My first dansco album was the ASE but that was because I loved my morgan whitman album so my grandpa got me the ASE with the first three years. Then I got the 7070 a few years ago ( still not complete) this christmas I got the washington parks quarters album.

My first Dansco was the 7070... purchased because I needed a home for the 1798 Large Cent my grandpa gave me.

Before that, I had everything in Whitman folders - I realized the advantages of Danscos pretty quick after that and started a long (and not yet entirely complete) process of conversion.

For many years, I had my collection in 2x2's. When I went to Dansco, I went all out, and pretty much bought in bulk. Right now, I have book for each set, including proofs on the current sets.
