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.
