<p>[QUOTE="Dansco_Dude, post: 26107751, member: 147679"]In early 2024, I went on a crazy four-state road trip and visited 23 coin shops. I wrote an <a href="https://coinweek.com/coin-road-trip-four-states-23-coins-shops/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/coin-road-trip-four-states-23-coins-shops/" rel="nofollow">article</a> in CoinWeek about the oddities and interesting observations I noticed along the way. I'm doing it all over again, this time heading towards the Pacific Northwest. I will document my journey and the unique cultures of coin shops around the North and PNW on my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dansco_dude/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.instagram.com/dansco_dude/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a>.</p><p>As some here may know, I'm a <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-complete-catalog-of-every-dansco-album-ever-made-291-albums.412309/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-complete-catalog-of-every-dansco-album-ever-made-291-albums.412309/">huge</a> Dansco album nerd. That's why I'm excited that on Friday, March 21st, I'll be visiting the Dansco Corporation's Headquarters in Sumas, Washington! The company's owners were kind enough to accept my request to visit and nerd out.</p><p><br /></p><p>Along with documenting the different cultures of coin shops around the North and PNW, my top goal is to add rare and unique Dansco albums to my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/j2Ewkar.jpeg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img

[QUOTE="Dansco_Dude, post: 26107751, member: 147679"]In early 2024, I went on a crazy four-state road trip and visited 23 coin shops. I wrote an [URL='https://coinweek.com/coin-road-trip-four-states-23-coins-shops/']article[/URL] in CoinWeek about the oddities and interesting observations I noticed along the way. I'm doing it all over again, this time heading towards the Pacific Northwest. I will document my journey and the unique cultures of coin shops around the North and PNW on my [URL='https://www.instagram.com/dansco_dude/']Instagram[/URL]. As some here may know, I'm a [URL='https://www.cointalk.com/threads/a-complete-catalog-of-every-dansco-album-ever-made-291-albums.412309/']huge[/URL] Dansco album nerd. That's why I'm excited that on Friday, March 21st, I'll be visiting the Dansco Corporation's Headquarters in Sumas, Washington! The company's owners were kind enough to accept my request to visit and nerd out. Along with documenting the different cultures of coin shops around the North and PNW, my top goal is to add rare and unique Dansco albums to my collection.
