What is a Dansco?


That is really a good question. Made me pause to really think about what is a Dansco? Why has the look and feel not been updated since the fifties and sixties? I think it has something to do with series collecting when a collector could get most coins out of pocket change, not so much true today, and most people get their coins from the Internet, a coin shop or the occasional coin show. Collecting coins by series, especially obsolete coins, is a specialty now.

I moved away from albums and folders altogether and use Air-Tite holders whenever I can. Most are stored in rolls, some in 2x2s that are small enough to fit into one. BadThad's advice about consolidating is excellent, have quality and rarity over common circulated 'junk' which heirs sell for pennies on the dollar because they or dealer do not have time to go through it all.

If you plan on handing down coins, invest in a good label printer, a decently printed label on a 2x2 in a full binder makes a world of difference, especially to a dealer appraising the coins.

The appeal to me is that all of my albums look the same. If the look and feel had changed from time to time, then there would be a good chance that my first album would not match my most recent album. That would bother me.

For what it is worth, there are subtle differences from my oldest albums to my newest albums. Most would not notice them, but they have changed ever so slightly over the 26 years I have been using them. The one obvious change is the font used to put the model number on the spine; my early albums uses serifed numbers, the later albums do not. A less obvious change is the texture pattern.

All my coins are in binders, and I'm planning on putting a QR code on the inside of each folder that will load information about what's in the binder.
