As many of you may know, individual replacement pages for Dansco albums are available frm a number of suppliers. Typically, one buys a replacement page to add to an existing album, as in the case when the passage of time requires a new page to continue a series in an album. In addition, certain individual replacement pages are available even for "Page 1" of albums for certain series.
With that, I've built "semi-custom" Dansco albums in order to combine series into single albums. My issue being my dislike of having a Dansco album holding 1 or 2 pages (and some of the Dansco albums for certain series like
Shield nickels,
Liberty nickels, and Anthony Dollars including 2 pages, one of which is blank), For example, I've put together the following semi-custom albums:
1) Nickels - purchased a blank Dansco Album labeled "Nickels" and the Replacement
Liberty nickels page and the two Replacement
Buffalo nickels pages to create a single album holding both series.
2) Dimes - a purchased a blank unlabeled Dansco album, the two Replacement
Mercury dimes pages and the four Replacement
Roosevelt dimes pages (no proofs) to create a single album holding both series.
Doing this conserves a little bit of space, and saves a little bit of money, as what was four albums is now two. I'm hoping to do this with other series, but cannot find the specific replacement pages at the various suppliers I have tried (Coin Supply Express, Dansco Album Store, Wizard, and JP's Corner). The replacement pages I'm looking for would be:
1) 6110 Album page 1 for
Shield nickels (in order to add it to front of my semi-custom album for nickels, thus housing all "Classic" Nickels --
Shield nickels,
Liberty nickels, and
Buffalo nickels -- in a single 4-page Dansco album).
2) 7180 Album page 1 for Anthony Dollars (in order to add to the front of a
Sacagawea dollars album thus creating a semi-custom "Small Dollars" album).
3) 7183 album pages 1 and 2 for
Sacagawea dollars (in connection with #2 above, put all 3 in an empty album labeled "Dollars" for a semi-custom "Small Dollars" album, although I may take a shortcut and just add 7180 page 1 to an existing 7183 album even though the title on the cover at that point wouldn't be entirely correct).
4) 6108 Album pages 1 and 2 for holding two-cent pieces and three-cent nickels, respectively (hope to add to end of
Indian cent album).
I've looked for these individual pages at 4 different online suppliers named above and can't find anything, other than buying a whole album and removing the pages I want, which sort of defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do. If I could find an existing used album for any of these in good enough shape and cheap enough, I'd consider going that route, although not sure what I'd do with leftover empty album and pages, if any.
I also know buying blank album pages and labeling them myself is an option, but I'd like to avoid doing that, especially where Dansco already makes a page that's exactly what I want, even if the page is somewhat difficult to obtain by itself.
Anyone got any suggestions on where I can find these specific pages?
Regards,
Brian
