Nice Dansco!
seal006 - Very nice! I see you have a Brother labeler too. My collection is the same, 2x2 in the plastic pages. I like this method the best. It gives you total flexibility.

I like it best as well. I am just anticipating the time I decide to buy to 70S small date. I want it to be as nice as the others. I have hand selected most of these. I got a few on the Bay, as well as some I won that I did not find worthy. My best guesstimate would be all will grade out at MS63 or better. So I know the SD 70S will be costly. I am also toying around with the idea of getting them all graded, of course then I could not keep them in 2x2s. Does anyone know if slabs fit into baseball card pages? I cannot wait to see Scooby's custom job. I be it will be very nice indeed. And yes, my Brother labeler was a must have. My handwriting would make my carded collection look like the bargain bin at a coin show. I digress.

Very nice photoshopping, sure had me fooled, I thought, "I have never seen that typeface in a Dansco, and it sure looks nice." I was gonna buy one just for the transitional years page - LOL. Maybe you should send the jpegs over to the Dansco people to tell them this is the way the album font should look. Modern and appealing.
Very attractive set, BTW.

The one advantage with the 2 x 2 holders is that you can change out a coin easily without affecting the coins next to it. I love changing out one beautiful bu coin for another even nicer example! Not done very often but when I do at least the plastic slide is not scratching the coins high points. It is just so difficult to find truly fine examples with strong details and no scratches or toning.
Sincerely, John Leckrone

To update this thread, I have now added labels to this Dansco in real life -- not just photoshopped. https://goccf.com/t/69466 |

Very impressive indeed. Did you enjoy the creative process? I know I enjoy when I get an idea of something to try with my coins, and then make it happen.

seal006 -- oh yeah! Finished the whole project the night the supplies came in the mail. I was itching to see it all come together. Next I'm going to label my nickel album... a 4-page blank Dansco holds all the shields, V, and Buffalos.

Very nice indeed, though I do agree with what others have said. After a year or so of making upgrades I started noticing hairlines on the high points of some of my coins. I ordered a box of 500 airtites and a box of 2x2's and went to work. The Danscos look sharp and if your careful they can protect and store your coins for years but with the amount of upgrades I was planning on making, the cons outweighed the pros in this instance.

my wife has an airtite album of Presidential dollars that's pretty neat. The pages are obviously much thicker since airtites fit into each page, but I would certainly trust my coins there (and you can rearrange them if you like). |
