40 dollars for ONE blank page? Yeah, I don't think so.

Trying To Find Any Kind Of Blank Quarter Pages Or Albums From Dansco Is Impossible! I was just trying to show you that they are available ebay has plenty if you do a search "Dansco Blank Quarter Page" As far as the cost I consider the contents My Caps Quarters Album with 6 blank Pages cost about $57 plus the Air-Tite capsules It holds 180 silver quarters which have a silver melt value of about $6 each which is over $1000, so in the big picture that's not a bad deal

Regardless, paying 40 dollars for one blank album page is not a good financial strategy.
They either don't have any available, or the few ones they have are ridiculously priced like this. No. I received my blank quarter album recently. Was... interesting. Definitely an older album and the pages were not in the best shape. I'm happy with what I paid for it though considering I got not only the whole album with 5 blank pages, but most of the clad proofs from 1968 until 98. There was only a few missing. I'll have to add a few pictures later on.

Sold!  All jokes aside, so this is what I got from the recent purchase: This album definitely looks to be a bit older.  First page. It didn't come like this. I laid it out like this. P&D mint, then proof. I added the few random clad business strikes.  Second page. I left a little extra room, as I think for fun I will add the 40% silver proof and silver proof as well.  Third page  Fourth and last coin-filled page. There is a fifth, but it's blank  So I got an entire album and 27 clad proofs for 50 dollars. Not too bad IMO. That literally pertains to less than 2.00 dollars per coin. I think for now, I will fill out some of the clad coins spots and see how I feel after that. Who knows, perhaps after this my collection will "evolve" again and I will start on a general Washington quarter collection at some point, including the older silver coins. I mean, that is a nice hefty collection which I think is like 8 pages long. But, I'll take my time with it. Doesn't all have to be figured out right now. If I do change it down the line, I'll use this for something else like a State Quarter P&D set.

Looking good! When you said it was older, I pictured the holes looking a little frayed from use, but they look almost brand new in the photos. I spy with my little eye a SLQ  Glad you're able to set it up the way you want

Yeah, they appear that way. Lol. Some of the glue has come undone, leaving several of the pages in the bottom right corner kind of open. Kind of annoyed by that, but for the price, I can't complain. Oh yes. I figured I would add it in since I've had this one for almost 10 years, and don't know what else to do with it. So, just for fun. Lol.

Awesome! I'd love to do a 7070, but yeah... Too many coins out of my reach I fear! Ugh. I'm not a fan of the plain ole' Washingtons the way I envisioned it. Now I have to think of a new use for them. Lol. I might turn this into a State Quarter P&D album. We'll see.

It definitely takes time and money.  Quote:Ugh. I'm not a fan of the plain ole' Washingtons the way I envisioned it. Now I have to think of a new use for them. Lol...

True! And at this current moment... Yeah... Not feeling it! I am sure I can find something to do with it, though.
