Post Your Dansco Pics

Wow goldrush - thanks for the info on the coin! And about the home security - good lighting also goes a long way. You could probably set up a video camera system in the front and back of your house to provide addn't securty.

Wow, the Dansco folders look very attractive. Having never owned one or seen one in person, how exactly do you put the coins in? Are these holders safe?

I keeping hoping to see some other sets posted. Would be nice to see some of the early stuff like bust half dollars .. seated or Barber coins in a Dansco. someone must have something to show us all.

TheForce - Dansco is considered one of the better album for coin collecting. They have clear plastic insert for both the obverse and reverse. The plastic inserts will slide out to the right of the page, allowing the coin to be pressed into the open hole, then slide the plastic insert back in to cover the coin. They still should be stored in a cool dry place.

The plastic strips and PVC free, pages are inert.

Yes the coins are snug fitting, only problem I have had is when putting a very worn coin, I have had those rattle around.

I have a process when putting coins into the album. I use a small vacuum to suck up and dust that may get on the coin. I use a rubber band to get the slide started enough to pull it out. And yes use cotton gloves to press the coins into the slots. You have to be careful when sliding the plastic insert across the coin.
There are cases where drag marks are left on the coin. If your are careful and the coin is seated correctly than you should avoid this problem.

I have some coins that have been in Dansco albums for over 20 years with no change in appearance. But then I have have some coins tone while in the album, but I believe that process may have started before placing the coin in the Dansco.

I will second that opinion! My oldest Dansco is over 25 years old now, the youngest is almost eleven. I am quite pleased with them.

Goldrush- That is a great looking set you have there! I'll post some pictures in a bit.

Here is a circulated Mercury dime sets.

Well over half of these I found metal detecting. In my efforts to organize my collection this past year, I bought this used Dansco, sorted through a jar of dug dimes, then checked my 2X2 boxes to fill in and upgrade.

I did buy the 1921 a couple months ago. When I see a good deal, I guess I will try to upgrade some more of these coins.

Wow GoldRush58, was that recently?
