Dansco Album Help Needed!!

[Nevol]

OK. I figured it was a Supreme.  Don't see why there would be such a huge price difference between US & OZ though.   

[Tobyle]

All Dansco Supreme albums are around $64 - $68 at my local dealers; Recently noticed many of them selling on ebay (US sellers) for around $18 - $25. Even with postage etc, makes a BIG difference. ......... wish I knew about the price difference earlier!

Hey Mila,  Thanks for those links.  I've just ordered 7 Australian Albums for a cost of US$194.21 or Au$207.47 and that includes postage of over US$55.  I've wanted these for a while but was VERY reluctant to pay upwards of $70 each for them, as the 7 could have ended up costing me around $490.

At less than half the Australian prices, they're a bargain!  I ordered them from Jake's & although the total cost of just the albums would have been less from The Shawnee Coin Company, I prefer to have separate albums where possible & theirs combine the 5¢ & 10¢ in one album & the 20¢ & 50¢ in another, so 5 albums from them would be US$130.15 plus whatever they charge for postage. 

IMHO, any Aussies using these albums would be far better off getting them from the US. The freight didn't seem to change as I added more albums, so it seems the more you order the cheaper they get per item. 

I'm one happy little Vegemite!    I'll let everyone know when they arrive & if I run into any problems.

These are my order details:

---------------------Order Summary-------------------------

WHY Nancy!
That's quite a collection of Dansco's you'll have soon.
I guess the cent Dansco album I sent- spoiled you, uh?

[Nevol]

Mila, You sure did!  Like I said, even with $56 for freight they're still half the price I'd pay here in OZ.

[CoinCrusader42]

Although I'm still waiting for my dollar album to arrive, I am happy to have found a source for them.

I think $10 postage for a book of a few ounces is over the top, but I have waited for so many months to get this album, I'm more than willing to pay it.

What is so good about Dansco Albums.....are they airtight, do they stop the coins from toning.

Have no idea if these are better than 2 X 2 's and if so why.

So many questions......so little time to collect.

[ElleKitty]

I know I prefer the Dansco Albums to 2x2s in this case for my special collections.  it's so much easier to drag my pennies about in the album rather than in a little box, or in plastic pages in a 3 ring binder.  They look so much nicer in the clean pages, rather than all trapped in those little white squares.

I really have got to order me a few more of these.  I think I can fill the decimal albums up, 1 cent to 50 cent (without all the NCLTs) but the ones I really want to work on are the predecimals!

[Nevol]

Well, my Danscos' just got cheaper.  I received an Email this morning advising me that Jake's have refunded me $7.31 due to an overcharge for postage, & PayPal have credited me with $7.81.  Woohoo.  I'm rich!.
