Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 10/25/2009 11:58 am I have found, if you remove the front slide (not always that easy on a new album particularly) you can then push up on the reverse plastic sleeve (without removing it) and then it will pop up the edge of the coin through the front slot. You can then get a fingernail/toothpick under it to remove it. ~~Wheezy, do you really use tweezers on your coins~~? Oops, sorry Mr. Wheezy! I reread the post and I now know you use the tweezers to grasp the plastic sleeve to remove it. Obviously we would not use metal tweezers on our coins. Obviously!

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/25/2009 7:31 pm Good info Wheezy ... I do it the same way you do .. Another thing I do .. when I first get a new Dansco .. before putting in all the plastic sleeves I vacuum all the holes for dust. I think when they cut the holes during manufacture there is a paper dust left. I have seen it get on proof coins (Lincoln cents) and over time start spots. Sometimes if I know I am going to be adding coins in the coming day or weeks I will not push the top slide all the way back in .. I will leave about a 1/4 inch so I can grab it better when adding those last few coins for that section. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 10/25/2009 7:51 pm Yes I agree about the dust, I do that as well. No LOL! I wouldn't use anything but my clean fingertips on the edge of a coin. No tweezers. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5613 Posts	Posted 10/25/2009 8:20 pm WD, As expected, great advice from a seasoned Numismatist, Mike...ps; great tip about a vacuum for the album dust...I have cleaned the plastic slides before coin inserting, but that is a great idea, all this effort, who wants spots that could be avoided...
