Here's my solution for the Lincoln Dansco album, for the three slots after the 1958-D Wheat cent.   |

Dateless buffaloes, Buffalo nickels, counter stamped error coins etc. I love the extra holes |

My extra 7099 holes are occupied by some of my Colonials.

For the blank spots at the end of the album, I fill them with varieties not listed in the album. For openings that I know I will never fill, I sometimes put in a completely different coin. For instance, the 22 no D spot in my wheat book has a silver wheat in it. If you want to do the same, they can usually be found at coin shows.

ONE of the reasons I stay with Whitman. No empty slots. Never could figure out why Dansco can't figure out how many coins it takes to make an Album full. Some have lots of those. Whitman has none. The last page of the large cent album has ONE marked opening. Really, one? In the rest of the album, they excluded what I consider to be necessary variations and included some I'd consider unnecessary. With that much leeway, you'd think that they could have worked it out so that at least half of a page was marked. |

My Dansco cent album has a blank planchet in the 22 no D slot. I don't consider error coins part of a circulated set, and besides, why include the 22 no D but not the 55 doubled die or the 72 DDO, for example? |

I filled all the blank holes with RPM for my Mercury dimes album, and needed another blank page!  |

for them that I liked. The fact that there are four of them and you have four holes is obvious, but them being coloured to further differentiate them from the series works well here. It reminds me of the shift of a television series from B&W to colour. It is rather nostalgic. |

In my 20th and 21st century type set I had a whole page of blanks so I got some proofs and put them in there and it looks really nice

I am filling the empty holes of my Barber, Walker and 3 page Franklin/Kennedy Dansco albums with a date set of Seated Liberty halves. I am avoiding the expensive date/mintmark ones, so the extra slots save from having to buy an actual seated lib dansco. Edited by DoubleEagle20

I really like those P & D tokens, shark! How did you fill in the backs of the ports? I kind of wish they made S tokens. Then they'd fit right in! I wound up putting these into my Lincoln album  |
