Coin Album Question

Im wondering if the plastic slides in my Dansco album will eventually put wear on my coins sliding back and forth on them? Id like to hope it will NOT

When you put the coins in the album, set them into the album enough so the slides don't contact them, and then only remove the obverse slide.

 

The holes in the album are slightly deeper than the thickness of the coins. Care should be taken when adding or removing coins from the album because the plastic slide can scratch the coin. Make sure that each coin in a row is placed deep enough so that the slide doesn't touch it.

good call

 

They will hairline the heck out of them unless you are careful. I have seen this scores of times and the value of such coins plummets. I recently wrote a thread and touched on this danger, if I can find the thread I will post a link.

 

Somewhere on CT there is the topic, but I can't find it. Below there is a link to my website where the same information is posted as an article-

Thanks! Very informative, it just so happens I am building a type set

 

Me too 'UN' cents ... I'm replacing the one I sold a few years ago...among numerous others...proper care and handling will go a long way to preserve the beauty and value of the collection--although I hate wearing gloves LOL

 

ME TOO!

 

I had completed the Dansco #7070 Type set book a few years back. Now my Type set is housed in Intercept Shield A-190.

 

How do you do that if you're adding a new coin?

Chris

 

Well, you didn't say that. I was just busting your chops though.

Chris

 

Why I'm not a fan of Danscos.

 

Except for the ASE and Silver commemorate dollar. The coin will touch the slides on both sides, every time.

 

Does the 7070 include the silver eagle and commem dollars?

Chris

 

Yes, mine does.

 

mine has 4 spots for commemorative coins but no spots for silver eagle. my back page just has 3 spots for the bicentennials. id like to upgrade my back page to the one with more spots.
