<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SportsDen, post: 2945478, member: 77549&quot;]I spent hours searching for pre-made inserts for the holes, and to my surprise, couldn&#039;t find any. While a small niche, this seems to be a market opportunity for someone. I thought of contacting Dansco to see if I could obtain the plugs they punched out, but decided to just make my own. They and other album makers could probably just package and sell the &quot;holes&quot; they punched out, in all denominations.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to how I made them, I first found the color and material I desired in OfficeMax/Office Depot, as a 1/4&quot; thick foam board about 20&quot; x 30&quot;. The other side was yellow. I cut 1&quot; squares and pressed a spendable penny into the foam to mark the size needed. I then set the square on edge and using a razor knife cut it in half, reducing the thickness to ~ 1/8&quot;, then scraping the back to even it. I then repeated this to make the reverse insert. </p><p><br /></p><p>For completing the obverse, I used a Brother labeler and clear 18mm tape to print the slabbed coin info, then I carefully cut the round plug with small sharp scissors, following along the rim impression in the foam made by the coin I pressed into it. I&#039;m trusting that neither the adhesive from the label, nor the foam, will adversely affect the nearby coins, but I&#039;m not certain of this result, and I&#039;ll be watching for problems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
