okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 7:35 pm Brought some Dansco albums home today and broke open the following slabs to free the coins. Going into the Dansco 7070 Gold Page were a 1862 Indian Headdress Gold Dollar in AU58, freed from an NGC plastic tomb. Also a 1909 Indian quarter eagle in MS-61 freed from an NGC slab, and a 1882 Gold Liberty Head eagle in MS61 freed from a PCGS slab. The Lincoln Dansco album received a 1914-D in VF-25, freed from a ANACS slab, and than (drum roll please) a 1909-S VDB in AU-53 freed from a NGC slab. Before cracking out any of these coins I took pictures of both sides of the slabs and than closeups of the coins still in the slabs. I also saved the labels and bar codes and taped them to the inside covers of the albums. Some of you may think I am a fool, but in the end for me, the albums were not complete until the key coins resided in the holes. I think the Danscos with slip covers will provide plenty of protection and I can enjoy them more this way. *Title Edited by Staff* Report this Post to the Staff

bmanofnbc Pillar of the Community United States 1424 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 8:05 pm Good for you Okie-Colin! Just having the coins is OK I guess but having them in the album with the others is much better in my opinion. I thought you found a bunch of coins with die cracks. Report this Post to the Staff
okie-colin Pillar of the Community United States 1083 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 8:13 pm Sorry about the original title o moderators. I was hoping everyone would know the title was a joke. Never touch the stuff, never have, never will! Report this Post to the Staff

I was like man this guy finds a whole roll of die cracks and I have only found 1 good one ever. Report this Post to the Staff
tampabaygrampa Valued Member United States 408 Posts	Posted 02/05/2009 8:50 pm I say "good for you". Nothing I like better than picking up a Dansco and admiring the contents. From the sounds of it, The one you have would be a real treat to see. Congratulations. Report this Post to the Staff
