<p>[QUOTE="talkcoin, post: 1593778, member: 38842"]... I have a couple Kennedy Dansco's like the OP's and the coins fall into the hole without any pressure needed. All my other Dansco's require pushing the coins into place. I do use cotton gloves and only apply pressure to the rims, never using my fingernails. I also run a fan behind me and turn around and whisk my hands through the draft before touching the coin to ensure that the moisture from my hands doesn't dampen the cotton gloves. I also try and make sure that proof coins are the last coins to be added before the set slide is complete. The slides for modern Dansco's are very soft and sometimes my cotton-gloved hands scratch them when cleaning them off before re-inserting them; which leads me to believe that the slide will scratch before the coin as long as you are careful. I always take every slide out of an empty or newly purchesed Dansco and clear any dust or schmutz out before I bring my coins any where near it. I to also, if possible, never remove the bottom slide after the first coin is added to a set slide. Also, I do recommend the slip case cover for any Dansco album, it just makes sense to me <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck to you and your hunting,</p><p>Erik[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
