I'm not sure a Dansco did this, I bought it this way. But judging from yours it's appears that may be what happened...

 

dansco albums look nice but they sure dull toned my statehood quarters and messed with my Sac dollars and proofs. Now I just don't care about how the america the beautiful quarters will tone up. I have my mercs in a dansco album and they seem fine. I wish dansco had the invisi-shield protection on there plastic slides.

 

I've never had toning issues with Dansco albums and I've been using them for more years than I can remember. It's not the album, it's where you store the album.

 

I have them in my dressing drawer. it's not real wood either. cheap particle board walmart made. where should I be storing them ?

 

In something from a better furniture store.

 

I have my ASEs in an Intercept Shield album. All are bright and shiny without a hint of toning. Given the premium some toned ASEs bring though, I probably should have used a Dansco. TC

 

Not ASE or Dansco but Franklins in a Whitman 9126 album (hope you don't mind). Maybe the conditions the album was stored in affected what happened to the coins? That said, these are part of the collection I am cataloging and I have no idea what the conditions were that caused this. Half of the coins are like these shown. Other albums are fine???

 

Fortunately, it would be the easiest to replace, and ya, it's really that bad!!! Many of them will now only fetch the going rate for melt even though they are not quite as bad. Almost all of the coins would have been MS if not for the damage the album and storage conditions caused. Very sad that someone put the time in to put together such a nice set and how it was stored destroyed them. This is why all of my coins are in air tites and stored in a dry place. I also look at the coins as often as I can to make sure nothing bad is happening.

 

my dresser drawer is dry. I thin it's that dansco itself caused the damage. the only coins gone un damaged are my silver merc dimes.

 

My ugly Dansco ASE:

 

In a dresser drawer I would also be concerned about vapors from laundry detergant, fabric softner, wood varnish, if there is plywood - glue and chemical fumes. Like Doug believes, I also believe the albums contribute to the issue but the surroundings influences what happens. Some of the half dollars I did not post had toning that was worse where the plastic window shifted a little and exposed an edge of the coin.

 

Here are some of my ugo's. Funny thing is there ain't nary a speck of toning on the reverses of these coins.......

 

UGLY? (Edit - forum rules) Some people collect those.
