CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12848 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 5:02 pm I too use those desiccant packs found in shoe boxes, electronics boxes, furniture packaging, etc. I drop them into a wire basket in my safe when I get them. Seems to work well. I use both Dansco and Whitman Classic albums. I actually prefer the color of the blue Whitmans and the font on the cover but I think the quality is slightly better with the Danscos. You won't be sorry with either one. One other advantage of Danscos over Whitmans is that Dansco sells slip cases for the various sizes (widths) of their albums, where I believe Whitman does not. Also, all Whitman albums are the same size regardless of how many pages. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 8:09 pm Quote: Also, all Whitman albums are the same size regardless of how many pages. Not really. For example many are a lot thinner than others. Yes they are all the same height and depth, but many are wide enough to add many pages and some are not. I use this as a place to put duplicate coins in a series. For example I put two sets of Mercury dimes per Album. Same with several others. Don't forget that Whitman is owned by Harris and they also make Albums with the Harris name. Also, they make some that say USMint. You also may want to check out other places for purchasing such as Coin Supply Express and possibly other coin supply companies. Report this Post to the Staff
CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12848 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 12:02 pm Yeah, you're right. I wrote that without being in front of my collection, mea culpa. I just checked mine and of the dozen or so I have, all but two are the same width. The 1973 ( Jefferson nickels 2004-) and 9149 (Anthony Dollars) are narrower than the rest.

tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 1:10 pm I honestly prefer Whitman look and design, but Dansco offers some unique options that send me back there more often. Like Date sets, different albums for a series that include proofs or no proofs. Dansco also seems to fit more coins in their albums, which may mean less albums overall. Report this Post to the Staff
