Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 11/13/2025 10:41 am I have had several Dansco albums now where quality control doesn't quite seem to be as good as back when I used to collect coins and used Dansco albums. This was also 13+ years ago. My 7113, 8113, and 7100 albums all have pages that are basically coming undone, despite being only six months to one year old. My 7100 album I actually recently purchased to have a fresh, brand new album since the other one was coming apart, has several pages also coming apart. It's less than six months old! And I'm not rough on them or anything. I feel like the more you move coins around, upgrade and swap them out, it seemingly wears out the pages. I don't really recall this being the case with Dansco a long time ago. I could be wrong, though. Ironically enough, my second 7100 album that I recently purchased used from ebay, which has a few subtle differences, seems to be better quality. I could purchase replacement pages, and I probably will. However, this seems like it could be a constant thing of replacing them. *Lincoln cents 1909-2009 collection* Eisenhower/Anthony dollars Liberty nickels Buffalo nickels Jefferson nickels I have a special affinity for nickels.

Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 11/13/2025 11:45 am There is not much to visualize. The glue holding the pages at the bottom right and top right of them has come undone, leaving the sliding panels somewhat loose. *Lincoln cents 1909-2009 collection* Eisenhower/Anthony dollars Liberty nickels Buffalo nickels Jefferson nickels I have a special affinity for nickels.

Dearborn Moderator United States 104986 Posts	Posted 12/01/2025 5:58 pm I've had a few pages come unglued at the corners, primarily where I touch to turn the page. I think it is because the top cover is ever so slightly bigger than the center material, and my fingers are able to pull on the page a bit more each time. I simply re-glue the page back down and weight it until it dries. And I don't wait until it is loose all the way up to the nearest hole. Collecting since 1972.
