Can I place an order without using your website?
Yes we do accept phone orders but making the order through our website is the most effective way
for both you and us. It also helps to get orders out faster with less of a chance for an error. Ordering by phone
may delay your shipment by a day.

Our website has up-to-date information on our stock levels. If something is low or may be out of stock it will have
3 stars (***) after the item's name in the shopping cart.
How do you offer such a large discount?
We are able to over a 30% off Dansco Albums and Slipcases rate because we are direct distributors of Dansco.
We do not spend money on advertising and we appreciate any and all referrals.

Your order is processed generally on the same day or the following business day of you placing your order, depending on the time your order was placed and order volume.

So what is a Dansco Album? Binder? Folder? Slipcase? Slipcover?
An Album - In our category "Dansco Albums" are all the brand new albums with the pages as defined by the Dansco Corp. Each page that comes within the album already has the plastic see-through inserts so once the coin is in place you can see both sides. Some have even called it a book shelf album. These are the most common purchased Dansco related items. When someone says a Dansco album or book this is what they mean.
A Binder - In our category "Dansco Binders" is a small selection of new sized albums but the difference between the binder and the above album is that there are no pages and no plastic safety guard slides. These binders for used in two difference ways. One is to update your current album. To give it the proper binder thickness to support the most current pages available. The second usage for the binder is to make your own custom album. So make sure to choose one with the proper title on the cover. Please email if you have any questions on what a cover says.
A Folder - In our category "Dansco Folders" are also called an "All-in-One" coin folder. These are more classified for more of the novice collector. We do not suggest using these with expensive coins since there is much more air exposure and are not designed to protect your coins as well as Dansco Albums. These folders have ports that you push your coins into but the reverse is not visible and there are no protective covering over the obverse of the coins.
A Slipcase - In our category "Dansco Slipcase" (also known as a slipcover) you will find different sized cases that are used in conjunction with Dansco albums. These are not required but they do help limit air movement around your album. Your albums slide into these with the binder spine exposed so you can read the album's title and album number. If you need to know what size slipcase view the descriptions and all the corresponding album numbers are listed.
How do I insert coins into the ports? or How do I use a Dansco Album?
First take your right thumb and push down on the far right port.
While pushing down also push to the right.
As you do this the slide will be visible outside the page end.
At that point you can pinch the visible slide and pull it completely
out or just enough to put in your coins.
