Dansco is not an easy company to deal with. I have e-mailed and even hand written letters to them and all I get is a generic list of their albums but no response to my question. I have a Dansco 8113 which is the Jefferson nickel Album (inlcuding proofs). I've been trying for well over a year to know what Dansco plans to do about this album which ended at 2011. Are they going to expand the current album with a 7th page? OR Are they going to issue a new album such as they did when the Statehood Quarter albums had no place for the DC and Territorial Quarters. They issued a new 2 page album (#8145) for them. My Dansco Jefferson album #8113 already includes the "additional 6th page" that covered the coins from 2002 to 2011. Does anyone out there know what's up? I have my 2012's in flips...waiting for Dansco to do SOMETHING. I've done everything short of flying to L.A. and knocking on their door. |

 makarov. Is it possible to make a 7th page using a blank nickels page? I am not familiar with dansco albums. Not sure what they are made of. If a 6th page was added why not add a 7th. |

The Dansco site shows an album 8114 with spots labeled for 2006-P through 2016-S Proof. Guess their fix was to make a new album.

Thanks Fuzzy! I haven't bothered to look at their site again for months. I'll have to go take a look. It's a bit odd that they start the "new" album at 2006 since the 8113 goes to 2011. I'm curious. Thanks again!

the 8113 they show on their site, stops at 2005. They have several blank spots on the last page.

I went to look at the Dansco site as well as a few ebay sellers of Dansco products. I discovered that it's quite a nice racket that Dansco has. Here's what they've done. Back in 2002, when the pages in Album 8113 ended, they sold an add-on page-6 that covered 2002 to 2011(including proofs). As I recall I had to order one and after shipping it came to around $9. NOW Dansco's solution is to render that page 6 obsolete by creating a new page 6 that covers 2002 to 2005 with the remainder of the page being blank holes. They would have me punch all of the coins out and transfer them to the new page 6. My remaining Unc & Proof coins are to be put into the new Jefferson nickels Album #8114 which holds the coins from 2006 onwards to 2016. So, a complete Jefferson nickel Collection from 1938 to date (including proof issues) requires the collector to purchase 2 Albums as well as 2 supplementary pages. What a rip-off. They could have done the logical and most customer friendly option of simply making a new album that starts at 2012. That's where all of our #8113 albums stopped. What a scam. |

Ooops! I forgot to respond to Bm0ney. Yes Bm0ney, that is exactly what I intend to do. I just bought a blank nickel page on ebay for $5 and I'll just squeze it into my #8113 for now. |

So what's everyone doing? Adding a blank page #7 in their 8113 (there is room for a 7th page as people have pointed out) or just buying 8114?
I'm torn. I will probably take a two-tiered approach... use my existing replacement page 6 (to 2011) and add the blank page for the next few years until it's full. Then replace the original page 6 in my 8113 (which goes to 2005) and then move the 2006+ to the new album. Of course, we're talking 5+ years from now.
Thoughts?

Hi Celticknot, I was starting to think I was the only one that's at least a tiny bit annoyed or inconvenienced. Angielczyk...the address in their albums is: 4313 W.Jefferson in Los Angeles, Zip: 90016. Dansco products really are excellent quality which makes it all the more odd that they have such poor to non-existent customer service. I too will just be adding a blank nickel page to my #8113 (purchased for $6.80 including s/h on ebay) which will provide a home for my shiny Jeffersons for another decade. As CelticKnot pointed out...take the "wait & see" approach. I'll make the final decision many years later when we can see if Jefferson nickels are even still being made. |
