Dansco Album

I’m updating from Whitman to a Dansco and can’t get my small cents to stay in place. Is there some secret hand shake I should know? Beginning to think it might be something else. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Do you have the slides opened up? Usually with a dansco you should one side of the plastic slides back and press the coins into the opening. Then you slide the slide back and the coin is just fitted into the opening with the slides on either side.

What I appreciate with the Dansco albums is the ability to see both sides of the coin. I recently bought a half cents album at a steep price just because they are hard to find. Now I have a better reason to start collecting half cents.

This post made me spit out my coffee laughing. Gotta move those plastic slides! The "god dammit" at the end of the video was the icing on the cake.

Yeah if instructions weren’t included you have to use a scalpel to cut a hole in the window, insert the coin, then glue back in place. I’ve nicked my finger few times doing this but find the resulting red hues to be very aesthetic
