What Do You Do With Blank Spots In Your Dansco Albums?

I will occasionally add a coin that is special to me. Could be a attractive tone, a low mintage year, a variety, or just one more really nice example. Can't say I do that all the time though, most remain empty. I have some Whitman albums and although they provide the exact number, I have found that they cover fewer varieties and I end up wishing for the extra spaces.

Jgfindring, Did you sketch up some plans or did you wing it? I would love to make something similar.

I agree. Now is a good time to find those coins that have been sitting in jars forever.
Some great finds. Congrats.

If you are running a dehumidifier, I would first get a hygrometer and see what the humidity level is in the house or in the closet. If you have a reading that is satisfactory, you wouldn't need to do anything else.

What Do You Think Of People Who Sell "Unsearched" Rolls?

I feel sorry for those who spend their money for these "unsearched rolls". I only hope that they learn from their mistakes as their isn't much that can be done other than to share our opinions when we have the chance.
Time changes the topic of discussion but even in the days of P. T. Barnum; There was a sucker born every minute.

Great purchase! I too like the holder. I have had a couple that have half dollar slots but not the large dollar.
I think Marcus makes them.

wonder how he knows... None of these rolls have had anything older than a 1904 in them?
He either broke rolls or he didn't. No one would be able to open some but not all.

I'm a fan of older mintages but do enjoy the Lincoln's. Had to give to them in the vote.

A Good Ebay Story

I have sold a few things on eBay and have made a similar mistake. Made it right and lesson learned on my part. I have always gone out of my way to maintain 100% positive feedback even when I didn't agree with the buyer.
My advice when buying on eBay is to only deal with sellers that have a lot of feedback and 100% positive rating.

Glad to hear it worked out well for you.

I just pulled 4 wheats from 8 rolls. All were bank rolled. I think they are still out there as people empty long term change jars for cash.
Keep looking. I think you will be surprised.

I have the same issue with some of the coins I got from my father. It sucks and I have been tempted to try to clean them. Still haven't though. All of my new acquisitions are going in Dansco albums.

Great find. It is amazing to think that someone would think to use a coin that old to make a $1 purchase.
You should be able to get $20-$30 for it. I would give it an AU grade. The breast feathers on the reverse are still very visible.

I would suggest Lincoln cents. Roll hunting will allow you to fill many slots as there are still many nice coins being put back into circulation when people cash in jars they have been saving for years. Enjoy and best of luck!

I am very happy with my Dansco album for my Lincoln cents. I can appreciate both side of the coin and the presentation is hands down better than a folder.

I have no experience with this one but I do have an inexpensive digital microscope. It is great for closeup images but it is not good for full coin shots. You want to get something with 3x magnification for that. I would also think being handheld would present a problem. Check out the Amscope line. Something 3.5X - 45X

Adding a little silver to your portfolio wouldn't be a bad move. Much better to enter now than when it was $30-$35 an ounce. I would stick with pre-64 US currency as it will always carry a premium over silver rounds.
