Best Coin Album....

I got a couple of Danscos...








Sorry, JustCarl!

Moe--showing off again!

Look at the rear page. Made in China. One of the only ones made there. Dansco, Whitman, Littleton, etc are all made here. Made here doesn't really mean to much today. Items could be made here from stock made in other countries. The auto industry is a great example of that. It used to be noted that Potiac was 60% to 70% made from products from other countries. Oddly enough on TV China just advertised that about 85% of all the cars they make are from parts made in China and NOTHING is from the USA.
One of the only things I dislike about Dansco Albums is the poor planning on the allotment of slots in some of their Albums. By that I mean I have a Dansco for Liberty Head Quarters with the last page with 22 spaces left over. The Half Dollar one too has many empty slots on the last page.
There at least Whitman plans out the pages so no empty slots at the end. A slot for each coin. I still like the looks of a Copper coin in a Whitman. Copper just doesn't stand out in a Dansco since almsot the same color.
For now too Whitman still has a massive large variety of almsot anything in Albums but Dansco is catching up.
So far I've never met anyone that uses Littleton Albums.

Yeah, I've only got that one littleton folder.

Can't wait to see your pics!

Wizard Coin Supply has the best pricing on Danscos, and generally they are reliable and get your supplies to you quickly. JP's Corner is another very good supplier though their prices are a bit more. The most awesome thing about the Dansco blank pages is being able to buy them individually in mm increments. If you start to collect die varieties, a good Brother P-Touch label maker with clear tape can yield a professional looking result on the light tan pages. Just try that on a blue Whitman page... Another CCFer made a page using this method for the 12-coin 2009 Lincoln Chronicles set, and posted a thread on it. If you go the 2x2 route with pocket pages, the label maker makes the presentation of the coin binder stand out.

I like this. One of the projects I am working on is moving my dark side coins from the 2x2 pages into mm pages. It is like a puzzle, figuring out how to best organize them. I like puzzles.

Possibly one good thing about Whitman is those press on letters/numbers. Not sure if they still sell them but I used to get a pile of them for blank pages and blank covers. They used to come in Black and/or Gold. You just use a stick to rub them on and they transfer to your Album page. I haven't ordered any for some time now but they used to be on the Whitman web site and in many coin stores.
One more minor item about Whitman Albums is so many are over sized Binders that it's possible to put two sets in one Cover. For example I have two Mercury dime sets in each Mercury dime Cover Binder. Same with Indian Head cents, Buffalo nickels, etc.
However, I'm sure Dansco will soon be, if not already, doing the same.

I think valleycoin has the best prices on Danscos and the shipping is only 5 dollars no matter how many you order
