Every one posting here is asking for help on some question in coin collecting,technical and beginner. Lets not berate our new members with elitist attitudes . The 7070 contains some tough coins. We should all applaud an 18 year old for attempting to fill it. Good luck Taylor you will find much help here. There are literally thousands of years of knowledge in the membership.

Thanks Stephen. My Grandfather and Great Grandfather were much interested in the hobby and it has seemed to pass on to me. Can't wait to fill the album.  |

I definitely wasn't trying to be sarcastic with my post, I was saying I had the same problem when I first saw a Dansco album and I wasn't a member of any forum at that time so I did a google search and finally found an album that had like finger slots cut out of the side so you could slide out the plastic slides easily and said Ah Ha! As far as the youngest member, I don't think you are the youngest m,ember on this forum but you may very well be the youngest one taking on a Dansco 7070 album. We have some veterans here that are scared to take on that challenge

Wasn't pointing a finger at you Bryan lol sorry for the confusion. I was referring to a few laughing people but its ok. As for the album, I'm not as much into getting the highest grades for my coins. Believe it or not, I already have a lot of the holes filled with just the coins from my parents and grandparents and metal detecting. Maybe the upgrading will happen in the far far future  |

Probably not TOO far-far, considering how far you have already come! And believe me... we would not laugh at anyone (except ourselves, like Wheezy mentioned). No harm and definitely no foul - we are very glad to have you here. We live to look at pictures, ask and answer questions, and share our knowledge and love of the hobby with those who do the same  |

Great finds with your metal detecting. Yeah it's best to not take life too seriously.
Being young and having this hobby is very educational. There are more lessons learned than just what we learn about coins.
We learn a lot about people and history. I have learned so much about how to interact with people. How to be fair, how not to let people take advantage of me, although that is a lifelong watch.
I have learned from my mistakes.
I have made some great friends. We learn what makes some things special rather than ordinary. We learn how to appreciate art. There is a lot more to the hobby than coins. It is good to have you here metaldetectingtaylor.
The young numismatists are the future of our hobby.

At least you didn't do what I did with my first Dansco. All my coins are in 2x2s in pages in a folder, so I took them all out of the 2x2s, put them into the Dansco, decided after a couple of days that I didn't like them in there, took them all out and had to put them all back into 2x2s and back into the folder. In the transfer back I dropped a very nice shilling which now has a lovely ding on the rim. The Dansco ended up in the bin.

Unlike these young guy's I have been trying to figure my first dansco as well, I have used Guardmaster and Uni safe. How do you slide the sleeve out initially ?

I just emptied a few albums to get coins out of them. It is easy to booger up the edges unless you are very careful. When it is empty I use a thin piece of cardboard or you can use a pair of tweezers. I do have a pair of stamp tongs someplace and they would be ideal.
YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO REMOVE THE BACK SLIDE.
First use your fingers in the hole areas and see if you can get just the slightest bit of the slide to come out. Get your tweezers and pull it straight out.
If you can't get it to budge, lift the edge paper slightly using a thin piece of cardboard like a matchbook cover, and try to leave the slide lay on the thick part that the holes are punched in. Get a pair of narrow tweezers and pick under and over the front slide and squeeze your tweezers to get it out.
WHEN YOU HAVE COINS IN THE ALBUM
Be careful, When adding to or taking out coins, make sure you push down on the front of the holes with the plastic slides in place and push the coins already in it flush with the back slide. If you don't the front slide may scuff the front of your coin when you are removing the slide. Push your coins free one at a time onto a soft surface by pushing on the back slide and the front slide removed, one pair of coins exposed at a time.
