spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 11/04/2010 10:04 pm 2 part question: #1: Is there any good way to get a Dansco album that doesn't include the costly errors/variations spots in the pages? For example in the Buffalo Dansco I probably won't worry about filling the 1937D 3-legged space so I would rather not have it as an empty spot. I don't mind some of the more common varieties in some Dansco albums (lincoln 82 small/large date etc), but I really don't care to shell out for the more costly errors, I would rather buy other nice coins with that money. #2 If I do get an album and don't ever want to fill those holes is there any good ideas for putting a "plug" or filler in the hole? I know I could just leave it blank but I would rather fill it with a blank plug of some sort than have it empty or put a coin tht doesn't belong in there. Am I basically going to have to get blank pages and label them myself? I hope not, let's hear for the creative problem-solvers :) Edited by spaceace 11/04/2010 10:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jgfindring Rest in Peace United States 1380 Posts	Posted 11/04/2010 10:14 pm For several of my Dansco's, I have found copper or brass discs of the right diameter on Etsy that I have used to fill the blank spots. Copper for my Lincolns, copper and brass for 2 euro coins. Report this Post to the Staff
jokingjoker Pillar of the Community United States 2150 Posts	Posted 11/04/2010 10:47 pm Yeah its been discussed on here before a few times. No, dansco doesn't make pages without those holes. So yeah, your options are finding hole fillers or blank pages that you label yourself. Report this Post to the Staff

Before I started collecting I thought maybe it was just because he wanted everyone to see both sides of the coin without having to turn the page, but I think it was a reminder to him that if he ever found one that certain spot was available even though the slot wasn't empty Quote: They do make copies of most rare coins and they are available on ebay fairly cheap.I have a fake 14-D Lincoln in my slot right now....just waiting for a real one. I would rather have the hole in my album than think I supported the people making the fakes Report this Post to the Staff
spaceace Pillar of the Community United States 797 Posts	Posted 11/05/2010 12:17 pm Yeah getting a replica is possible but I don't like the idea of having something fake in my albums. I like the idea of just putting another coin in with the reverse showing. Report this Post to the Staff
