Well after getting my 1 & 2 cent dansco folder and looking at the others they make. I think the only folders I'd consider are for coins that they don't mint any more as I think it's annoying that you have to buy new folders and left with one that's pretty much use less then. So I'd like a folder that has the info on it but you can add to and have one for capsules and another sort for 2x2'x..so with all these smart people wanting to make money why haven't they done it or is it like half the other secret squirrel things involved with coin collecting that I don't know about yet. I'd like a folder that looks good and protects the coins..is it too much to ask :biggrin: Wish I had the money and contacts to make what I want :winkextra:
I use blank dansco supreme pahes in blank dansco binders. Can set my collection out any way I want and label it myself if I want to.
Thanks Bigfella, I'll look into them :good:
Hi, do you know about purple penny folders, they can hold safe-flips and 2x2s.
And I am sure you can just add a piece of paper or something with writing on it with your coins.
In my opinion the Dansco folders offer minimum protection for coins
The supreme albums are a bit better but are still NOT archive quality at all.
Beside the fact that 1side of the coin is exposed in the folders ( you also can't see the other side.
Poor coin fit allows coins to fall out Or damage them forcing them into the holes.

I agree. I am transferring everything from push in albums to 2 x 2's (or 1½x1½'s) in sleeves in general purpose, 4 screw albums. Anything in Dansco supreme albums is staying for now.
I am sick of coins falling out of albums and other coins being almost impossible to push in -should I get a hammer?

I used to use the dansco supremes
but if the rim edge starts to go
you don't know until you remove the coin
bingo - too late then
Thanks team, no more dansco :good:
:scratch_one-s_head: I know what I want but don't think they make it yet..so I'm off like a bucket of prawns in the sun :sportbike:
I realise the danscos arent the best method for safely storing your coins but damn the supremes look good!
I have recently transferred my entire pre decimal collection to Dansco Supreme Albums and I couldn't be happier.! My surplus coins will soon be housed in saflips including my various errors and die cracks.!
Having discovered I have many doubles in the die crack category my next task will be an attempt to trade some for those I don't possess.
I will be depending on the knowledge of the forum members to assist.!
Last week I was fortunate to meet Enworb, Markn and Purple Penny and as expected I found them very friendly and highly knowledgeable.
The help between members is paying off- The quality of photos is improving daily, the tips are useful and the banter amusing.!
Looking forward to the next phase.!:yahoo:
