The Silver Searcher Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 11/22/2016 4:46 pm I've just purchased some used Dansco albums to hold some recently acquired sets. Is there anything in particular that I should look for to make sure that my coins will be safe once I put them in? They're in green folders now, so I know that the Danscos will better protect them along with making every coin viewable from both sides, but I can't shake the feeling that something bad will happen because the albums are used.

If they are cloudy, dirty, grimy, etc, then I would replace them. I am not sure who has replacement slides, but I got some directly from Dansco a while back. My suggestion, though, is to get some acetate sheets and cut them into the appropriate sizes.

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 11/24/2016 10:19 am Can air is a good suggestion .. I also keep a small shop vac handy ... before putting coins into albums I try to vacuum out any dust. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188342 Posts	Posted 11/25/2016 6:27 pm Funny thing is that I use a vacuum when blasting anything with canned air, to catch the blow off. (This is especially helpful when cleaning out old computers.)
