Interesting. I wonder what the size is for the non-proof Jefferson album is.. I'll have to look into it.

My guess is I could probably fit at least one more page comfortably, maybe two.

I'm not really a fan of the idea of purchasing an entire new album for just two pages, either. This is one thing I'm not a fan of about Dansco. Sometimes Whitman is layed out a little better.

For example, Dansco's Buffalo nickel album has only two pages, Whitman's has three. This is perhaps because all nickel pages from Dansco seem to have a standard of 35 slots per page. Whitman I believe is 30 or less, depending on the series.

Pull a page or two from another album and lay them between the last page and the back. Does it close flat?

I ran into another problem when adding pages to albums in the past—the posts were not long enough! The album could hold the pages, but the posts did not. I was able to get Dansco to send me longer posts for free, but that was nearly thirty years ago.

Agreed, which is why I went my own way (with the custom album and blank pages) when my original albums could not hold more pages or coins.

I should add I did the same for the Indian Head cents, Buffalo nickels, and Mercury dimes. I did not buy three albums. I bought one binder and six blank pages. Much cheaper.

You can get properly labeled pages for a little more...

Yeah.... I found that adding any more than one page, it's not gonna work lol
Kind of annoying. If I could find a bit longer posts like you mentioned, I could probably add more. But... I don't see any option like that anywhere.
I don't really like doing blank pages as much personally, as I like having the coin info underneath.

6 pages is max evidently in my album without adding new posts. I am not entirely sure if I should add the page for the 2006-2023 nickels, or just a blank page.
Blank page is good for adding random nickels I've found in my coin roll hunts that I like keeping around.
Either album from Dansco for 2006 and onward of Jefferson's, comes with two pages, whether it's proof or not. Only difference as far as I know as the BU only album has all the slots and dedicated info on the first page, with the second being blank. The proof album has all the info spread out within the two pages.
I might be inclined to add proofs to the 2006 and newer. Not sure. I don't really generally care for proofs, but either way being that the album is two pages long, there is going to be almost an entire blank page lol

I suppose I could purchase a larger binder, remove the nickel pages from my existing album and swap them over to a new one.

That is always an option.

Decisions, decisions. Yes, this can be frustrating. Take your time and you will find what makes you happy!

And continue to "think out loud" whenever you want. We are good sounding boards.
