Dansco Album Help Needed!!

[CoinCrusader42]

My coin dealer is a great person, and I'm lucky to have such a fine store withing a fairly short drive.

However, after several months, she has been unable to fill an order for me which I am very anxious to receive.

I have a complete set of all Australian circulating coins, and all EXCEPT ONE are housed in Dansco Albums.

What I don't have is the album for Australian $1 coins.

I know they are made because I have seen them listed among the other Aussie albums made by Dansco.

So, I would appreciate suggestions as to where I can order one.

I believe I have the coins to fill it, and sure would like to get my hands on one.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

I use Valleycoin.com (http://www.valleycoin.com/product_info.php?products_id=17573)

I've gotten all my Aussie albums from them and the $1 album is actually next on my list too.

Arthrene,

I like the site.

I attempted to order the album on-line, but couldn't get it to go through.

I'll call the company in the morning, and make the order.

I tried to order one last night as well. It appears they are out of stock but it wouldn't hurt to call the company anyway. Maybe they can tell you when they'll be getting more in. Let me know if you find anything out.

I called Valley Coin today, and they didn't have any.

So, I'm back to Square One.

And again asking for suggestions.

Maybe I'll look up Downies telephone number, and give them a try.

 

[CoinCrusader42]

Couldn't find a phone number for Downies, so I e-mailed them.

Hope I hear back.

Meanwhile, other suggestions would be appreciated.

Did you try Bigfella?

[CoinCrusader42]

Steve,

We think alike.

Just got a PM response from Bigfella, and while he doesn't have one currently. he can likely get one for me.  He asked for my address so that he can calculate shipping costs.

So, maybe I'll eventually get those dollars into a proper home!!

Hi Gary,
If you are still interested, Downies phone number is 1 877 897 7696
at Newport Beach CA 92660.
regards,

Thanks Bob,

If shipping is too much from Bigfella, I'll give them a call.

Here's the latest in the on-going saga regarding my attempt to get a Dansco Album for my Aussie dollars.

Just received an e-mail from Downies giving prices for two different kinds of dollar albums.  Problem is, the numbers didn't match what I have on my Dansco price list.

I'm guessing the cheaper album is for circulation dollars, and the pricey one is for ALL dollars.

So, back to Square One.

Up-Date.

Just got a reply from Downies.

Cost is $70, plus about $10 more for shipping.  Too pricey.

My Dansco price list gives the cost at $27.95.

So, I guess my next step will be to call Dansco on Tuesday.

Hmmm, Methinks there's something amiss there.  Are you after a push in type album like Rusty's or a Dansco Supreme with the 2 layers of slide out plastic film that protects both sides of the coins?  The price you've been quoted sounds like the cost of a Dansco Supreme to me.  Any one else think the same?

Rusty, how much was your $1 album?

[CoinCrusader42]

I have 18 Dansco Albums, all of them are the type with the plastic on both sides of the coin.

The cost has always ranged from about $21.95 to $29.95.

So, I continue to be confused.
