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. . .

"The Whitman albums seem to hold the coins better than the dansco's."
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.
