bwbollom Valued Member United States 293 Posts	Posted 10/28/2009 6:26 pm I have my current set of Mercury dimes in a Dansco album and I was thinking about ordering a slipcase and 2 supplemental printed pages to house the upgrade set that I'm currently working on together with the current set. I was looking at my Dansco album and it looks like there is definitely room for one extra page and there MIGHT be room for 2. Has anyone tried adding 2 pages to this album or another 5/8" Dansco album? I've never added pages to any of these and I just want to make sure it will work before I place my order. Otherwise I'll just go with 2 separate albums, but I think it would look nice to to have all of my Mercurys together in one big book! Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

You may notice that the two page Mercury dime album is the same size as the four page Eisenhower dollar album. For the record, I added two Half Dollar pages to my two-page Franklin half dollar album.

Plus it's less expensive to just buy 2 pgs & the slipcase and have exactly what I want! Looking forward to having everything set up just like I want it :) Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 10/29/2009 12:03 pm I have also found you can usually add two additional pages to your coin album. (It's not real streamlined after that but it will fit). I have several albums with 2 additional pages in them. It's nice to have extra space for spare coins, etc. Edited by Moe145 10/29/2009 12:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
bwbollom Valued Member United States 293 Posts	Posted 10/29/2009 4:51 pm Moe145: Thanks! I picked up a really nice (used) Dansco album at the coin store today for $7...I'm going to yank the pages out of that one and add them to the one I already had. Should work just fine for what I'm working on and it was even less expensive than buying the pages! Plus, if I decide I need another album in the future, I just have to buy more pages, not a whole book...this one was basically like-new! Report this Post to the Staff
bwbollom Valued Member United States 293 Posts	Posted 10/29/2009 8:03 pm Well, I got all 4 pages into one Mercury dime Dansco album and I really like the look of it! Now I just need to get to work on my sets...still 2 to go to finish off my low grade set (21d and 16d HA!) and I've got a solid start of three on my XF/AU set! It's probably going to take me just as long to do this one as it has for the low grade one, but that's all part of the fun :) Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 10/31/2009 11:34 pm That is exactly what I do with Whitman Albums. I have several Mercury dime Albums where there are two sets in one binder. Plenty of room for spare sheets of paper saying things like Set #3 with hotations about special purchases, etc. Also, if a coin came from a slab, the little sticker from the slab goes onto that sheet. I've ordered blank pages for dimes and put them in some of them and since the blank pages have more spaces than required for the Mercuy Dimes, I added the follow up Roosevelt dimes in thoes also. Another idea I've done is to make one Dime Album from Liberty Head Dimes/Mercury Head Dimes and Roosevelt dimes all in one Album. Of course doing this means to leave out errors and proofs. Many of the Whitman Album Covers are large enough for lots of expansions. All my Lincoln Sets have 10 pages for all coins from 09 to whenever. I'm thinking of doing the same or similar with other coins too. Report this Post to the Staff
ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 11/03/2009 10:30 am That's a great idea! A set of good honest circs on the first 2 pages, and a set of blazers on the last 2 pages. Nice! I think you have inspired me to do that with my Franklins! Right now I am just building the album, but with a mix of circs and blazers, it is very unbalanced and I know I have several already that will be upgraded in the future. Like this, I could just put the circs directly in one page, while putting the blazers straight into the other. Franklins seem very easy to put together in circs, so the album will technically be finished earlier that way! Report this Post to the Staff
