Question to all.... In my Dansco 7070 album I have found that some of the holes are just too small for the coins which I have acquired....anyone ever encountered with this problem?? and if so, any suggestions/solutions?? thanks for all feedback, julian   12-07-2005, 10:29 PM   #2 (permalink) GaryBurke Senior Member     Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Delta, Colorado Posts: 437 I have switched over to Dansco Albums in recent years, and never have had a problem. What coins are kept in the 7070 album? __________________ ANA: 42203 Favorites: United States, Canadian, British coinage Coin Collector since 1956   12-07-2005, 10:38 PM   #3 (permalink) smithrow1 Senior Member     Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: HYde Park, New York Posts: 272 The Dansco 7070 is the book for United States type sets.   12-07-2005, 10:40 PM   #4 (permalink) GaryBurke Senior Member     Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Delta, Colorado Posts: 437 I've had trouble with some of my type sets in Capital plastic holders. I think because the coins were so worn, they were smaller than the holes. Maybe that's the problem. __________________ ANA: 42203 Favorites: United States, Canadian, British coinage Coin Collector since 1956   12-08-2005, 06:56 PM   #5 (permalink) jsinisterr Member   Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Miami, Florida Posts: 42 My Mood: I actually have a solution for when the coins are smaller than the hole but not when the hole is smaller than the coins!   12-08-2005, 07:27 PM   #6 (permalink) GaryBurke Senior Member     Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Delta, Colorado Posts: 437 jsinisterr: Sorry, I should have read your post more carefully. I don't know what you do when the hole is smaller than the coin. I have had similar problems with some little albums designed for statehood quarters. The quarters don't fit, and when I get them in, using considerable pressure, they often times just fall out. Very frustrating. Good luck on finding a solution. __________________ ANA: 42203 Favorites: United States, Canadian, British coinage Coin Collector since 1956   12-08-2005, 07:35 PM   #7 (permalink) jsinisterr Member   Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Miami, Florida Posts: 42 My Mood: thanks gary, I might try to expand the hole a bit by using edge of a coin or something??...   12-08-2005, 07:37 PM   #8 (permalink) GaryBurke Senior Member     Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Delta, Colorado Posts: 437 Yep, that might work. Don't know what else you can do. __________________ ANA: 42203 Favorites: United States, Canadian, British coinage Coin Collector since 1956   12-09-2005, 03:55 PM   #9 (permalink) ranchhand Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: A ranch Near Austin Texas Posts: 688 My Mood: let me guess... the silver 3c piece? the hole is to small in my album for the trime... not by much ( 1mm or so ) kind of sucks!   12-09-2005, 04:06 PM   #10 (permalink) claw Senior Member   Join Date: Jul 2005 Posts: 253 I have had the same problem. Uncirculated coins will not fit. I have had this problem with different albums. I have heard that "stealth" albums are best but do not own one. A solution I have used, is to use a dremel tool to grind it down to make a perfect fit.

That same stinker is a problem for me as well! I've got it in there but not quite a good as I would like it to be. I'm going to try & remove it and enlarge the hole a bit...other than that, the rest have given me no problem...YET. __________________ Coin Wench   12-09-2005, 04:58 PM   #13 (permalink) ranchhand Coin Hoarder     Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: A ranch Near Austin Texas Posts: 688 My Mood: so i wonder what the problem with trimes is? one of the trimes i purchased was in a capital plastics holder... but not exactly. the coin did not fit in the hole so the previous owner had just sandwitched it in ( screwed the top plastic piece on over the coin )   12-09-2005, 08:49 PM   #14 (permalink) jsinisterr Member   Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Miami, Florida Posts: 42 My Mood: I haven't even tried to put a trime in there yet!! I'm having the problem with an 1830 capped bust half......and its even more frustrating because I have finally found a nice looking piece that will fit in with the rest. oh well, i'll try and enlarge the hole and if not I'll just tape it to the front of the album   12-09-2005, 09:01 PM   #15 (permalink) joesmom Coin Hoarder     Join Date: May 2004 Location: DFW, Texas Posts: 553 Quote: Originally Posted by jsinisterr oh well, i'll try and enlarge the hole and if not I'll just tape it to the front of the album Just fold over some duct tape to stick that bugger on there, that should keep it on there REAL good! __________________ Coin Wench   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
