Mooseknuckle Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 05/19/2006 10:58 am I am starting to put my common coins into Dansco albums, and see they have slots for the proof coins. While this is nice, what's the method for pushing a fresh, untouched proof coin into a cardbord slot in the Dansco albums? It requires quite a bit of pressure to get the coin into the holder slot, and I dont want to blemish, or reduce the value of my proof by putting it in. Is there a safe way to do this? In fact, I'm not just concerned about proof coins, but any coin. I dont like touching the faces of coins! Report this Post to the Staff

FYI Valued Member United States 177 Posts	Posted 06/18/2006 01:34 am Get a fine cotton cloth, and wrap it around a large round object(like a quarter from circulation), and use the rim of the object to put even pressure on the rim of the coin. It should pop in whithout a blemish. Report this Post to the Staff
Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 06/18/2006 01:51 am I like Dansco albums, however I don't put proof coins in them. When a hole calls for a proof, I just make a new date out of paper on my computer, and tape it under the hole. I don't like to collect proofs that way, and also I have to think their value would drop after being stuck in an album. Report this Post to the Staff
Metalman Pillar of the Community United States 7123 Posts	Posted 06/18/2006 02:29 am If you want to put the proofs in without so much pressure being required, put a circulated into the hole first remove it and put it back in until it goes in easy, then with cotton gloves press the proof in from the rims avoiding the field and relief of the coin as much as possible.By the way, its a good Idea to not use the High grade proofs for the folder, keep those in airtites !! Buy the lesser proof coins for the folder. I do not put proofs in the folders but I know others who do, and they make a very nice looking folder when complete,, Rick Report this Post to the Staff
TLS5933 Pillar of the Community United States 1703 Posts	Posted 06/18/2006 07:24 am I just use cotton gloves and pop them in, like Rick said on a new album use an old coin first,maybe a couple times. I use airtites on everything else. Most coins are not inexpensive and well worth the price of an airtite. You can get them fairly cheap if you buy in larger quanities. Report this Post to the Staff
