Dansco's 7070 type set album - Holes too big for large cents?

Not long ago, I started my own 7070 type set collection. I bought an 1837 Coronet large cent to fill one of the slots. I found my coin too small to fill the hole completely. I've seen others on here discuss this too.
I sent an email straight to Dansco, asking if they had a page I could get from them, so my coin would fit snuggly in their album.
Much to my surprise, here is the response I got from them today:
Dear Mr. XXXXXX;
At the time these coins were made, the large cents were made in varying sizes due to the imperfections of the machines that created them. Therefore the porthole is meant to accommodate the largest of these coins. We apologize for that but coin collector's use shims to correct this problem. Please send us your mailing address and we will gladly send you these by regular mail.
We thank you for your patronage and hope you will contact us with any further questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
The Dansco Corp.
I for one plan on taking them up on their offer, and getting their free shams. I'm not sure if anyone else is aware that they do this. PM me if you need the email address I used to communicate with them.

Large cents, prior to 1838, do have varying sizes.
