Dansco Albums Help/Questions

Dansco is a very good album. The coins are set into a hole in the page and a plastic slide covers the obverse and reverse. Some people get concearned that the slide may scratch the coin, but I only push aside the top slide , set in the coin just below the surface of the hole and push the slide back in. I don't think the slide even touches the coin.

Next time I'm in town (Grayling) I could show you mine.

I'm in the process of taking my coins out of Whitmans & putting them in Danscos. You will like them for sure.

I like Dansco...

I prefer littleton. I am alone in my opinion, but I stand by it.
Littleton pages are individual pages with metal rings that connect to the 3 ring binder that has coin info. The binder then fits into a slipcover.
With dansco, you have paper pages that are required to be flexible because they are locked into the album and merely bend in order to flip through them.

Littleton is significantly more expensive than the other brands though. And due to the face that each coin in a littleton gets more real estate on a page, large sets require 2 albums. For example, intercept shield has 1 album for lincoln cents 1909-2007. Littleton has 2 albums for the same dates.

Dansco also has 2 albums for Lincoln cents 1909 - 1958 and 1959 - 2016.

My biggest and heaviest Dansco album is my Dansco 8166 Kennedy half dollars w/ Proofs holds 160 coins 1964 - 2012.

I ocassionally get some toning around the edges of coins in Dansco albums when stored for a long period of time. Is this normal? Are the Intercept Shield albums supposed to prevent this?

I bought a couple of used ones in the past and found the construction of the pages does come apart rendering it useless.
This might have been due to the previous owners carelessness but they do split apart apparantly.
The ones I purchased new seem fine and unlikely to fall apart as they dont see much use,just filled them and put them away.I didnt buy the albums til I had all the required coins needed to fill such an album..or close enough.

Not sure if your confusing Albums with folders. Almost every companies Albums have removable pages. Folders are not made that way.
Almost every Album I've seen by anyone is made with a process of paper, cardboard with slots, then paper again. Of course they all have plastic slides.
And to color, Dansco just looks like an expensive book. Whitman's color shows off coins better, especially Copper ones.
Littleton is way to expensive and as to Dansco or Whitman, slip covers are available. I've got basically all Whitman. Well over 100 0f them. All pages are removable. All pages are replacable. My Albums for Lincoln Cents is one Album from 1909 to present and plenty of room for a few more years, including the many, many 2009's.
Intercept Shilds are made in China, even more expensive than Littleton and although they state Museum Quarlity, they also recommend replacing the entire album every 15 years.
As to your original question. I might suggest you go to Google and type in Coin Albums. You would find numerous outher manufacturers. With this in mind, consider the cost of each type, made in USA, availability, versitility to add pages, appearance, etc.
Do you have a local dealer that carries one or more brands so you don't have to use the internet to buy them? Are there any coin shows in your area that you could find Albums for sale?
As to the safety of your coins in an album. Unless you find an Album that is air tight, moisture proof, sunlight resistance, eventually you must consider them not 100% safe. I put all mine in Zip Lock Bags and have benn for a long, long time and so far, no problems with any coins corroding, tarnishing, toning, etc. Been collecting for well over 60 years and no problems with Whitman, so far.
