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 to 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.
More info can be found at our how to page



Can I add the 2009 Territory Quarters to my 7143 P and D Dansco Album?
Yes, the 7144 Page 1 is available for purchase. There is plenty of room in the binder for this page as long as you haven't added any pages to the 7143 previously. You do not need anything else the posts and screws are long enough to accommodate.





I have both the 8143 and 8144 for the 1999-2008 Statehood Quarters what is next?
To follow that sequence for the 2009 Territory Quarters with proof and silver proof is the 8145. Since the 8145 is a 2 page album those two pages will not fit into the 8144 plus the dates on the cover will not be correct. There will be no updated 8143 or 8144 to change this. After that the National Park Quarters 2010-2016 8146 and the second half of the National Parks 8147 (2016-2021).



What is the different between a 7xxx and 8xxx Dansco Album?
The pattern is the 7xxx series doesn't include the proof and silver proof only issues where the 8xxx does.



8" wide by 9 1/2" tall and the max thickness would be 1 3/4".
