<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 25864582, member: 10461&quot;]If I was facing that Dansco dilemma, I’d take a common modern coin of the right denomination (cent for a cent, quarter for a quarter, etc), and get some of those little round stickers like you might use when pricing stuff for a garage sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d write or print the word “<b>SLAB</b>” on each sticker, paste such stickers on front and back of each common pocket change coin, and then put it in the album.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course this won’t work for large cents, or a few other obsolete types, though I suppose you could get a cull example or anything else of the correct diameter, and put the stickers on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Silver 3c and half dimes are smaller than the standard size of those round garage sale stickers, though, so I’m not sure what to do there.&nbsp; In fact, even dimes might be kinda small, unless you found round stickers small enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is under the presumption that you’re doing a Dansco #7070 type set.&nbsp; If you aren’t, and your Dansco is all the same denomination, that makes it easier, and the “sticker” option viable.&nbsp; Even if you’re collecting silver dollars, you could sticker up some regular circ Ikes for placeholders, for example.</p><p><br /></p><p>If Dansco (or someone else) was clever and industrious enough, they could create these album placeholder plugs that said “slab” or “slabbed”, maybe in plastic or aluminum or whatever, and market them to folks with mixed raw/slabbed collections… just sayin’…</p><p><br /></p><p>While they’re at it, they could run a series of plastic plugs that said “key date” or “rare” to go along with the idea, for those of us who don’t have the budget to immediately fill those tougher holes (or who understandably want to keep their keys in a slab).</p><p><br /></p><p>I wish I knew more about 3D printing…[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
