I avoid hairlines pressing very lightly. If the fit is tight, I'll place a PecPad (a microfiber cloth made for cleaning lenses and camera sensors) over the coin.

Also, you don't have to push hard with Dansco's -- it's not like the old Whitman or WR or LOC albums.

However, you do need to be very careful closing the acetate cover as you can put hairlines on the coins very easily -- just be sure the coin is sitting "down" in the hole before you close it.

All in all, you have to be careful, but it can be done. That said, I wouldn't recommend it for truly rare or expensive coins, but for the coins I keep in these albums (generally under $200, and averaging much less), I have no concern with damaging them (and thusfar haven't).

Have fun...Mike

p.s. one of the things you DO need to worry about is cardboard dust settling on the coin -- particularly a reactive coin like the OP's SAE. Again, I use a photography tool to get rid of it -- a blower/brush combo like this:
