World Coin Albums: Comprehensive List?

Ever since I got largely priced out of the US coin market, I've found myself dabbling in the world coin side of things. Unfortunately, Dansco albums (or equivalents) for many countries seem to be either extremely rare, prohibitively pricey, or both. Below is a list of albums (not folders) I've either acquired or seen; please add to it if you spy any omissions!

Mexico (50 Centavo, Liberty Cap Peso, Peso, Type)
Canada (Dollars, Type for Dansco; cent-dollar for Whitman)
Newfoundland (Whitman type)
Guatemala (Dansco type)
Nicaragua (Dansco Type)
Panama (Type and complete set from Dansco; type from Whitman)
Cuba (Dansco)
Philippines (Whitman type)
New Guinea (Dansco)
Hong Kong (Dansco)
Fiji (Dansco)
Australia (Dansco, half penny through florin as well as type; Whitman type)
New Zealand (Dansco type)
Swiss Confederation (Dansco type)
Japan (Dansco type)
Great Britain (Whitman penny, half penny, farthing, Victoria/minor/Silver type)
Korea (not sure of the brand, but clearly manufactured in Asia)
Taiwan (same comments as for Korea)
Russia (from an Ebay seller based in Russia; he had type from 1796, Nicholas II, and Alexander III, from what I remember)
Israel (Dansco, Type and 1948 onward)
Palestine Mandate (Dansco)
Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Sudan, Yemen, Algeria, Saudi Arabia (one dealer on Ebay sells all of these; perhaps he's also the manufacturer?)

The Hong Kong type was also made under Dansco's Continental line.

 

All I have seen are the Whitman made albums for Canadian coins they produced a bunch of years back. I thankfully have a few and buy them when I see them for sale. Like you have said, world coin albums are tough to come by.

 

Totally forgot about the Ireland Dansco albums; will add to the list and repost.

 

There was also a Czechoslovakia Type Dansco continental album produced. One sold on eBay yesterday for $100.00 with all kinds of annotations made by the previous on each page.

Talk about delusional; I don't think the coins in that album are worth anything north of $300 combined.

 

I reckon the album alone will sell for $200 -$300 easily.

 

But not $3000!!!!

 

Do you have any reference about this album? Any photos or sales records?
Together with the German Colonies Type they are the rarest to see..

 

I actually have one; will try to upload photos later.

I think that the Austria or Luxembourg Dansco Continentals might be rarer, though.

 

@QuintupleSovereign and @Seba79 I managed to save images of the Luxembourg and Czechoslovakian Dansco albums that sold on eBay during the summer. I can upload those images if you'd like them for reference.

 

Yes, please, it would be good to see the images.
Thanks

 

I sure wish I owned these albums. Without any further delay here are some of the Dansco Continental albums that sold on eBay this past summer.

Hi,

Someone has information / photos / or for sale this album:

Switzerland commemorative shooting 5 francs Dansco Continental Album

One was sold on ebay in the last 3 years.. thanks.

 

After a quick internet search, I was able to find some pictures from an old listing. However, I was only able to find an image of the first page. Nonetheless, I'd guess that one of the pages was likely based on the commemorative page from the Dansco 7500. Moreover, the Wikipedia article on Swiss Shooting Thalers should allow you to be able to infer some of the coins the album requires.
