Coins1989 Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 4:23 pm Has anyone using Danscos ever noticed that the openings for proof coins are a tighter fit than for the non proof coins? I am moving coins from other albums into Dansco and am finding I have to spend extra time working the proofs into the openings. Are these naturally a mm or so larger, or something?

Mark1959 Pillar of the Community 7234 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 4:39 pm Never really noticed. I have the Dansco Ike with proofs album and all coins had to be pushed into the holes with a little force, not just the proofs. The Dansco nickel album with proofs were no problem either.

It could be that their being worn just makes them an easier fit.

Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 01/23/2018 9:43 pm I noticed when I worked on my circulated Washington quarters album that the worn circulated coins did not fit nearly as snug as the proofs. Even slightly worn made a big difference. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188440 Posts	Posted 01/24/2018 10:06 am I should add that proof coins do have a well formed and squared rim. They have a consistent edge that is sharp where it meets this rim, often a lot more so than even an uncirculated business strike.
