Forgive this post if it is confusing but I have to leave for work (hopefully not my last day) and I want to read some responses when I get home.

My Niece is going to be 3 soons and she loves helping me open rolls and look through coins. For her B-day I wanna make her a set of nickels or maybe pennies and put them in a dansco. I was wondering where the best place is to get them (I also need a few more). She is also likes pretty things so I wanted to maybe try to put a rainbow toning on them and have no idea how to do it. Also what is the best way to store Dansco's. Thanks in advance.

You can get old Dansco's at flea markets pretty inexpensively(like less than $10). As for storage, a nice cool dry place. The more humidity and heat you have increases chances of toning but also increases the possibly ruining your coins. As for artificially toning a coin, I will leave that alone as that might start a wildfire on this thread.

Almost as bad as saying PENNIES.
Not to start anything either but why not a Whitman Album? They look nice too you know.
Regardless of what you do use, make sure it's an Album and not those Folders. As already noted keep them away from moisture, hot air, damp places, draftry areas too. It may be a little problem and make little sence now but periodically put the Album in a Zip Lock Plastic Bag and push out as much air as possible. naturally this is a problem with a child around of that age since they suddendly want to see them. You may well be raising the coin collecting expert of tomorrow.
