You can get an idea of what slots are in the Dansco by looking at the link if you have good eyesight, heh. Here's a few things to understand about the Dansco... It has types that you may not care to collect (no one says you have to fill every slot, but it's hard not to), plus it has types missing that you may feel should have been included. Some of the earlier coins are not included (so some of my most favorite, older coins sit in flips while I decide what to do with them). There's also a gold page which I didn't get, but you may want to. Some of the gold coins are in slabs though, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't crack the coins out of the slabs to put them in the album. In fact, that's an issue for all of the coins. I've only cracked open *one* slab (harder than you'd think) for the album. Point is, if you're going to be buyed slabbed coins, it would probably be better to develop a system to display slabbed coins rather than crack them all out, but that's just me. Lastly, I've spent over $1,200 on mostly lower grade (some nice ones, but some with holes, etc.) coins for the Dansco and I still have these slots open: Large Cents Classic Head 1808-14 Small Cents Indian Head (Cu/Ni Oak Wreath) 1860-64 Small Cents Lincoln 1909 VDB 1909 Nickels Shield (Rays) 1866-67 Nickels Liberty Head (Cents) 1883-1912 Nickels Buffalo (Variety I) 1913 Quarters Capped Bust 1831-38 Quarters Liberty Seated (Motto) 1866-91 Half Dollars Capped Bust (Reeded Edge) 1836-39 Half Dollars Liberty Seated (Motto) 1866-91 Comm. Half Dollars Comm. Half Dollars Comm. Half Dollars Silver Dollars Liberty Seated (No Motto) 1840-65 Silver Dollars Trade 1873-83 Modern Coins Commemorative 1983-Date[/QUOTE]
