Most collectors have an opinion about some aspect of collecting or decisions and actions that that affect them that they would like to share with fellow collectors. There are a number of online coin forums that enable the exchange of information and opinions by collectors. Some of these are the Coin Community Forum, the Coin Forum, Coin Talk, and Coin People.

Several answers included the following: “Dansco is the most popular; I use the Whitman classics but that’s just me; I think Dansco is the best for the coins you have…; Ike dollar to Peach dollar…; I prefer Danscos whenever possible; Dansco is the best when you consider price, quality and variety. …I have Dansco and Intercept Shield, but prefer the IS.”
