Hey everyone,
I have some incredibly exciting news to share! This coming Monday, August 4th, I'll be visiting the Dansco manufacturing plant in Sumas, Washington to do some research on the company's history.
As a long-time admirer of their albums, I'm thrilled for this opportunity to look behind the scenes. My goal is to learn as much as I can and share the story of this iconic company with the coin-collecting community.
To make this visit as valuable as possible for everyone, I want to bring your questions with me. What have you always wanted to know about Dansco? What topics should I be sure to explore?
Here are a few areas I'm planning to dig into:
The Early Days: Who founded Dansco and what were their first products? How did the classic brown albums come to be?
Manufacturing Process: How are the albums actually made? What materials do they use, and what does the production line look like?
Company History: I'm curious about their move from Los Angeles to Washington, how they've handled production challenges over the years (including the recent floods), and who did the historical research for the inside covers.
Future Plans: What's next for Dansco? How do they decide which new albums to make, and what can we expect in the future?
Let me know what you think! Post your questions below, and I'll do my best to get them answered during my visit on Monday.
I can't wait to see what I can learn and report back to you all.

This sounds like a pilgrimage!
One thing you might consider asking is if they have a company "library" of the different products they have made over the years.
Maybe Dansco is short for Daniel's Company (wild guess).

I'd like to know if Dansco will be reissuing the Mexico Type Set album - # 7220.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Hopefully, they let you take some photos, are you writing a book or an article on Dansco? Either way it has been a needed subject to be covered! Looking forward to hearing more on this.

With the design varieties of the nickel and cent (2009) along with others in recent past years, any updates to the 7070 in the works like an additional page?

Are they ever going to release an updated 7070 album?

Reminder to all to check their web page for what they are doing / have done. Ah. Well, it's nice to see that they are at least producing the old 7070 album again after years of it being out of stock. But I'd still like to know if they are still planning on someday updating it to include more modern coins and/or more variations. |

It would be nice if they produced more gold pages - I want one but will not pay $300.00 for one
