<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Dansco_Dude, post: 25385054, member: 147679&quot;]I thought the community would find this interesting. In late April I had the pleasure of interviewing Donald Kocken at his home in Wisconsin. He is a prominent researcher of coin boards, folders, &amp; albums known for his extensive knowledge and expertise. He authored the book &quot;<a href="https://www.coinbooks.org/v26/esylum_v26n52a03.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinbooks.org/v26/esylum_v26n52a03.html" rel="nofollow">Collecting Vintage Coin Boards, Albums, Folders, &amp; Holders: 1930&#039;s and Beyond</a>&quot; which has become a valuable resource for collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq9GApnqcPY&amp;ab_channel=DanscoDude" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq9GApnqcPY&amp;ab_channel=DanscoDude" rel="nofollow">YouTube Video</a></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/LhxZvuy.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>As 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/">Dansco album researcher</a>, it was great to sit down and talk with someone who also loves the history of coin preservation. In our conversation, we touched on a lot of different topics and questions:</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Stories from his truck driving days and visiting coin shops while on the road</li> <li>&quot;What regional differences did you notice when visiting coin shops around the country?&quot;</li> <li>Advice to collectors on sharing time between the hobby and your spouse</li> <li>Sorting 168,000 wheat pennies</li> <li>Alan Herbert - Author of various coin books</li> <li>&quot;Why, oh WHY did Dansco with the Continental Line change the position of the 1909 VDB Cent slot and the 1909-1958 Cent slot?!&quot;</li> <li>&quot;When was the peak in album sales?&quot;</li> <li>&quot;What does the future of coin collecting look like?&quot;</li> <li>&quot;What do you know about Beistle &#039;Unique Coin&#039; albums?&quot;</li> <li>The story about the first Kent Coin Board prototype</li> <li>Ervin J. Felix &amp; The Continental Line Albums</li> <li>&quot;How rare are first-edition Whitman Walking Liberty folders?&quot;</li> <li>&quot;What is the rarest Whitman folder someone could find at a coin shop?&quot;</li> <li>Insights &amp; thoughts regarding foreign folders/albums</li> <li>&quot;How did Megrig get away with copying Wayte Raymond&#039;s albums&quot;</li> <li>Thomas Moll - The elusive author of &quot;Guide to Vintage Coin Folders and Albums&quot;</li> <li>&quot;Will coin boards tone coins?&quot;</li> <li>&quot;Any coin boards for Libertads?&quot;</li> <li>&quot;How far did David Lange get with writing a book about the Dansco Corporation?&quot;</li> <li>&quot;What should people think when they hear the name David Lange?&quot;</li> <li>&quot;Where have you displayed your coin board collection?&quot;</li> <li>Reflections on a numismatic career</li> </ul><p><br /></p><p>This was my first time interviewing and editing a video, so any feedback is appreciated.
