Popular Post Lem E Posted May 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2021 I got my first DANSCO album today for a little side project I’m working on. I have my regular circulation albums/folders that I have had for years, but I thought I would try to put a “nicer” album together. I didn’t realize just how nice these really are. I am impressed to say the least. I have several MS65/66 nickels that I used for research purposes and decided to crack them out and start this album. I have been buying other cheap slabbed nickels here and there to crack out and fill this thing up. The good thing is that I can get any kind of slab I want (ANACS/PCGS/ICG) since it is getting taken out anyway. I figure a nice 65/66 coin would make a good album coin and I can get them fairly cheap. I’ll get raw coins too if I can find some good pieces. Like I said, a fun little side project.

Woods020 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I’ve heard the Dansco’s are hard to find right now. You’ll have a lot of fun with it. I have a Jefferson one completed through I think 2008. I need to look. I’ve been meaning to add a page or get another one and haven’t. I bought mine probably 75% complete when I got it, and finished it out. Mine are MS but not all 65/66 by any means and maybe one or two with FS. I have a feeling your album will be much nicer! But those are very nice albums. And the dust cover is nice as well.

But those are very nice albums. And the dust cover is nice as well. They are not so easy to find and some sellers want a ton of money for them. Found this one on ebay. There were only 3 that I saw on there total for this particular album. This one is brand new. Had to get the dust jacket from a different seller. This one goes from 1938 to 2011 with proofs. (6 pages) it’s certainly a beefy album compared to my cheap Harris folders I have for my change find collection. I wanted this to be a nice all MS album. Its a very nice presentation. I really like it. Edited May 25, 2021 by Lem E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coinbuf Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Dansco makes a first rate product and your beautiful mint state coins will look really nice in that album. Lem E and Alex in PA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. It is top quality for sure. It’s fun to look for coins that I’m not worried about finding full steps or paying an arm and a leg for the coins. May take a while to finish but I’m in no hurry.

Woods020 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I’m working on opening a small online store and have started the process to become a dealer for Dansco and other supplies. I figure as much time as I spend on coins and supplies these days might as well try to have it support itself in a small way. Once I get it worked out maybe I’ll have what you need next time. It’s definitely a work in progress getting set up with various vendors and an online site. Lem E 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the deal is with these and being so hard to come by. The actual Dansco website is basically wiped out and has nothing. Hope you can get some stock for your store. Good luck my friend.

Like I said, it’s a slow go. I have acquired 3 other Dansco albums since this one. One for circ Walkers, one for circ Barber quarters, and I put my completed state quarters in one. Only need 7 more Walkers and that one will be done. About 27 coins into the Barbers. Mostly well circulated coins. Same with the Walkers. Here are the update pics for ya TJ.

tj96 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Very nice Lem!! I really like the way many of these Jefferson's tone differently over the years. Yours look a lot like mine. You and I are singing the same song with these Dansco's! I love them! I have Roosevelt Dimes, a Type Set (no gold), Mercs & Washington Quarters. You wanta see my Jefferson's?

tj96 Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Thanks Lem! The toning has actually progressed in this album over the years.
