Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 8:40 pm So I just got a new Dansco album for my Indian cents. Beautifully constructed...except. Started moving Indians to the new album tonight, but it's like the holes are just a little too small. I have to put a huge amount of force onto the coin to get it in the album. I've been using an Indian with no value to try to enlarge the hole some before putting in the actual penny, but it takes too much force. Anybody experienced this? I can't believe it's supposed to work this way. Contacted the seller with this same question, BTW. Report this Post to the Staff

Blastenpene4 Pillar of the Community United States 959 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 8:53 pm OK - but I'm afraid I'll put a rub on some of these coins forcing them in. I'll keep using a worthless coin to get the hole prepped as much as possible. My old Whitman did not do this, but I've never dealt with the Dansco product. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188213 Posts	Posted 08/12/2023 11:34 pm They can be tight sometimes. A sacrificial coin does help. I like to use a clean, white cotton cloth (usually a t-shirt) to help get coins into the holes. I try to apply pressure as close to the rim as possible.

Dearborn Moderator United States 95751 Posts	Posted 08/24/2023 7:11 pm Well you won't have any 'rattlers' and have them rotating in the holes like hole 7 on the early pages of the Dansco Quarter pages of album 8140....
