Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 11/17/2025 11:50 am Hmm. So I recently re-acquired a Shield nickel I had awhile back. I like 'em. I wouldn't mind adding some more. However.... Uh.. Dansco doesn't currently have an album in production, and I can't seem to find any other brands that have one. I thought Whitman would, but they don't seem to. I thought I could get some 21mm blank Dansco pages. Unfortunately, they don't have any sizes like this or around there available right now. I don't really wanna go the 2x2 route. Any advice? *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Report this Post to the Staff

Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 11/17/2025 1:02 pm Yeah, I did see that. Definitely not trying to spend nearly 100 dollars for a single, two page album. I wish I could find the mm pages somewhere. They seem to be out of stock everywhere. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Report this Post to the Staff
thecoinguy1964 Pillar of the Community United States 1300 Posts	Posted 11/17/2025 1:10 pm That's outrageously expensive! Maybe try going to a local coin show, and looking for a used one. I often look for obsolete books sets. Good luck. Report this Post to the Staff

Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10470 Posts	Posted 11/17/2025 8:15 pm If you have just one nickel - just get a nickel air-tight. Will be a little bit loose but at least it will be protected. The Shield nickels have a strange diameter of 20.5 mm compared to the rest of the nickels 21.2 mm diameter. If you don't like the loose fit then trim a piece of inert material and line the holder with it. Report this Post to the Staff
seamonkey5150 Pillar of the Community United States 875 Posts	Posted 11/18/2025 02:50 am It's not Dansco but Whitman has a 20mm page. I don't know if the page fits in a Dansco album...or is that sacrilege https://www.ebay.com/itm/113040569828? On the Dansco site it does show what is upcoming so they may come out soon with it.

Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 11/30/2025 10:49 am I think 20 mm would be too small and 21 is too large. The Shield nickel diameter is 20.5 mm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 94614 Posts	Posted 12/01/2025 10:37 am If you go 2x2 then you can get a blank 2x2 Dansco album. Something I have had to do twice now, (all due to the hole size of the pages were not correct for the coins I wanted in an album. Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 01/20/2026 08:01 am Yeah, like others suggested, I opted to try the blank Whitman pages. I actually recently purchased some different sized Whitman blank pages to see if I can fit these guys in there, since the Dansco album isn't available. I ordered both 20mm and 21mm pages. I'm hoping it will fit in at least one of them. If not, I'll have to figure out something else to build a collection of these. I really like these coins so trying to build some kind of set of them is a possible goal for me. Perhaps a kind of "date" set. I don't know why, but I love these old nickels and I think the Shield nickel has a fantastic, unique design. I've been watching this video lately on Youtube, and this guy has a really fantastic collection of them in a Dansco album c5ME7HqTicA ZNu6I6wlHUYEbrZg *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Edited by Humanist1287 01/20/2026 08:05 am Report this Post to the Staff
Humanist1287 Pillar of the Community United States 1107 Posts	Posted 01/22/2026 4:35 pm I got these today. So with the Whitman pages, it fits into the 20mm pages. I must admit, I'm not really the biggest fan of this... Method. It is a start, though. I figured it would fit the 20mm. The empty binder I purchased is kind of meh. Has way too much slack in it considering I only have 2 pages. I might look into an alternative. *Dansco 8100 Lincoln cents Liberty "V" nickels Jefferson nickels 1938-current Buffalo nickels Roosevelt Dimes Eisenhower/Anthony dollars** Report this Post to the Staff
