Quick Question On Dansco

I've written to Wizard Coin Supply twice but no response. Does anyone know which mm size Dansco page I would need for Great Britain Large Pennies? I know what it says in Krause but would it need to be one mm size larger. The reason I'm asking also is because I've had a heck of a time with U.S. Large Cents due to differing thickness of planchets. I've had to use a X-acto knife to carve out some holes. Thanks very much. Tom

Isn't that your answer, then?

 

Honestly, I don't know. Were the Gt. Britain planchets fairly uniform across the years? They had a very long life span. I came across a collection of these recently and don't want to be in the same problem of having to carve out the holes as I am building a collection from scratch using a generic binder and pages as I cannot find a reasonably priced album.

 

Britain had a couple hundred years of technology ahead of us. The early US cents were rough and crude compared to the British coins of the time. I don't know what era of British cents you're focusing on, but I'd say that generally they are better made than the US large cents before the mid-1830's.

 

Here is a gauge I have found handy in the past. I am not promoting the suplier, just the gauge.

Dansco makes a 31mm page and a 32mm page if you wanted to order both and see how your coins fit.

again, not promoting the source, just the information.

 

Thank you. I will be starting at approx. 1850 and move forward from there.

 

Tommy call them....they will help you over the phone. I use Wizard all the time.

 

Thanks very much.
