I just got my first dansco and was wondering what is that best way to store them. It it best to just leave them out, or would it be a good idea to put it into an airtight plastic bag. I appreciate everyone's thoughts.

I keep mine in gallon zip lock bags. I use a straw and suck out as much air as posible before closing the bag all the way.

Dansco also makes accompanying slipcases.

Dansco also makes accompanying slipcases. Yes, and I recommend them for a "complete" solution. If you are certain that the storage location (safe, deposit box, closet shelf, etc.) will always be climate controlled, you might not need to keep them in plastic "zip-loc" bags. However, one can never be too careful when it comes to storing coins! |

Now that really makes me feel stupid. Of course that is great idea. I've been pushing out air with my hands for many years now and I'm supposed to be a chemist and engineer. A straw! Can't imagine why I didn't think of that. Oh well the next time someone asks that question I'll pretend I've been doing that for ever.  |

Well, I have just one more question and I decided to post it here rather than starting a new thread. If you buy a slabbed coin for your book, is it worth it to pop it out of there and put it in or just keep it in the slab. Thanks!

Pop it out and put it in the Dansco! Otherwise, the hole will bother you! I would not build an album if I was just going to have "representatives" of the key dates and not actual occupants. The only reason I would buy a slabbed coin (which I have yet to do) is to augment the authentication of a risky buy, like a 1909-S-VDB LHC. When I finally get around to buying one, I might have to buy it slabbed; but I will most definitely crack it out and put it in the Dansco. I will probably document the coin and the de-slabbing process with pictures; I will definitely keep the certification label in the album like Bryan1315 has with his 7070. |

I think I would be sweating and shaking while cracking out an '09 S VDB !!.....  Might have to leave it alone for a spell and stare at it for a couple weeks........ then do it !...  |

In the days before slobbed coins, they handled this properly. They authenticated the coin and you got it back with an exact size photo of both sides with a serial number. This not only was proof that it was genuine, but could identify it if it was stolen. |

I've purchased coins in the past that were slabbed and as soon as I got home went to the garage, placed the slab in a vise, cut the ends off with a saber saw, placed the coin in an album. I always keep the little sticker from the slab and put it on the inside cover of the album with a little rubber cement. If with rubber cement you can still move it from album to album if you have a lot of albums. |
