Interesting. I do not see how it would happen if the slides are in place.

As usual, I wonder if you mean Folders, not an Album. If an Album the slides would stop coins from falling out. Possibly you had those taxable coins in there and the government just keeps on making our money less and less so they get smaller.  In reality I just don't see how that could happen. |

He means album. The Dansco 7103 is a specific album.

The album stayed in the same location and the coins were in the holes tight when I put them in. Also the slides were in and the album was placed in the slip cover by dansco.
Sorry what I meant by falling out is that they slipped between the page under where the coins were put into place.

Well, darn. I have never had that problem.
How is the climate in that closet? Stable temperature and low humidity are important.

Sounds like the glue that holds the pages together is giving out. Move that Album to a different place and see if it continues.

I have seen this happen on old albums. When the album(s) were not
stored very well. The outside of the pages would seperate from the
center section.
I have 61 Dansco's, from last weeks count, and only have one slot
that is doing what your's is. On my 1947 Canadian dime. The dime
is very worn, I think that is part of it. That album is over 40 years old.

On old albums that were used a lot (moving the slides in and out) the paper "stretches" allowing a gap to develop between the slide and the center portion of the page. When that happens it is possible for coins especially thin ones) to slip out of the center section and migrate to other areas.

I suppose another thing we need to know is how old this album is.

I agree that the glue in the pages might me giving out... I suspect the album might be pretty old.

This album is only 14 months old and I hardly handle it. I also have other dansco albums but this is the only one that did this.

Ouch.  Sounds like it is defective then. Is there any possibility of remediation from where you bought it? It is a long shot, being over a year old, but worth asking I suppose. |

I suggest that low humidity may be the problem, especially if it was stored in a confined space. Low humidity (during the winter) will cause all natural paper/wood products to shrink slightly.  |

That is odd. My Large Cents have never fallen out of my 7099.

It depends on the indoor relative humidity of your home in the winter, where you live, and where the item is stored. If you live in the southern states, you don't need to be concerned. But in the northern climes, unless you artificially humidify your home during the winter, then most paper/wood products will undergo a slight shrinkage, especially in a confined space. This often causes cracks in furniture tops, for example, and could well account for a small shrinkage in coin slots. At the very least, do not store your albums in a closed closet during the winter if you live up north. You may dismiss this, but I believe this might have been the problem here. Just a thought!
