DANSCO LIBRARY AND PRESERVATION UPDATE
Justin Hinh submitted this update on his ambitious Dansco album project. Thank you! -Editor
I wanted to share an update with you and your readers on my Dansco library and preservation project. As mentioned in my previous E-Sylum update, I had around 200 albums and was aiming to collect one of every album Dansco has ever produced. Today I am happy to report that I have now collected one of every album that Dansco has ever listed for sale in their catalog since 1939.
My collection now stands at over 700 albums & folders. Including prototype albums, vintage editions, and all of the Continental Line series.
Readers can check out a video walkthrough of my library here on Instagram.
A big part of my collection recently came from the late David Lange's estate. His collection was quite extensive and I'm proud to say that they are now in my library. I am still keeping an eye out for odd and one-off custom albums that Dansco has made for various coin shops and clubs around the country. If readers happen to have one, please do reach out! I am working through documenting my collection and will update you when I am done.
Lastly, if folks would like to learn more about Dansco and are happening to attend the ANA National Money Show in March, I will be giving a presentation about Dansco called "Guns, Gamblers & Grains: The Untold History of Dansco Specialty Albums".
Impressive accomplishment - congratulations! As mentioned before, Dave Lange would be thrilled with this outcome. Thanks for carrying the torch forward. Check out the great video, and if you're in Colorado Springs for the National Money Show, be sure to see Justin's talk.-Editor
