<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 3943312, member: 5233"]I'm going to disagree with what you are saying...because using traditional folders and albums is not the best storage method for coins. That's a fact. The little Whitman type folders have been beaten to death already so I'm not going to discuss them. Danscos are known to cause toning due to off gassing of the materials in them. Plus, the plastic covers that slide over the coins themselves can cause wear or otherwise impair the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now...does that mean that binders should never, ever, ever, ever be used...no. I use them for some things because they are better for display purposes. But, that doesn't mean they aren't a risky way to store coins. Even the best albums out there come with risks.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm a big believer in Airtites...and because of that I love Caps Albums. Each coin is stored safely in an airtite and placed in the album page. That way I can view my coins in an album but not have the same risks and storage issues common with other album types.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
