Start out slow, fill the spots with whatever existing coinage you have and then look around for the best coins available at lowest prices. Was lucky to find a new album for 35$ at my LCS but the gold page alone was 100$ and had to source it from eBay. Look around to land a Dansco 7070 album because they are sort of tough to come across in brand new condition (eBay has a few used ones that make an appearence time and again with the gold page being another hurdle). The above procedure is what I've come up with after trial and error and asking around.Stupid question im sure, but where could I buy one of these? Im still relatively new to collecting and this seems like a great guide to help me know what to look for. If anyone has any comments on this procedure, please mention them. I certainly wouldn't recommend neglecting to replace the top slide as I've heard some folks suggest.
I like to give the whole page another quick dust-off with the canned air.Ĭanned air is your friend! It's also excellent at blowing off all that cardboard dust from new 2x2s.ĭon't huff canned air, though - then your brain will die. Reinsert it and carefully slide it back into place. To remove a coin, gently but firmly press up on the coin from outside the back slide and push it out the front of the page.īlow off the top slide (front and back) and get off any dust that may have gotten on it while you were working. Never open the bottom slide, or you may end up putting slide marks on the coin. This will put it below the plane of the top slide and prevent slide marks. With your port now cleaned out, gently place the coin in and push it in all the way against the back slide. It'll evaporate, but it will cause atmospheric water to condense on the surface. When using canned air, be very careful not to tilt or shake the can (especially if it's new or almost full) or you will end up spraying a stream of the liquid 1,1,difluoroethane onto the surface you're spraying. Use the canned air to blow out the interior of the ports to get any flecks of junk that was hiding under the slide. Wearing the gloves, gently press on the top slide with your thumb and slide it a little of the way out until you can grasp it by the end and pull it out. I wear neoprene lab gloves since I got a few free boxes, but cotton would be just as good.
I take a can of compressed air such as 3M's Dust Remover compressed gas duster - it's not technically air (it releases gaseous 1,1-difluoroethane) but it hasn't damaged anyone's coins that I've ever heard of - and use the canned air to liberally blow around the front and back exterior sides of all of the ports connected with the slide you're going to remove. Here's what I do to add a coin to my dansco albums:
