<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Skippy Topaz, post: 7389565, member: 76224&quot;]Today’s tale is “Another HARCO Horror Story!!”</p><p><br /></p><p>So, I dug out my old coin albums that have been in storage for about 40 or more years from when I collected as a kid from about 8 years old until about 12 years old (kind of stopped just after the Bicentennial) and then years later got into Currency collecting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Fast forward to last week when I looked through the books and saw all that lovely green shmootz on a lot of the coins.. at first I thought it was my fault because Yes, as a nine year old, I thought cleaning some of my coins with my mom’s Noxon metal polish was a good idea because it made them shiny!!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway… after doing some research I learned that these HARCO albums were more likely the culprit.. *sigh*… so now I’m looking to try and clean them up and get new albums. None of the coins are in great condition to begin with as most of them were circulation finds and a few were Christmas presents from my dad etc.. it was really a kids collection but I do want to fix them up.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve read that using Acetone is a way to get the green off and wanted to ask if that was the only solution or is it the best one? And does it take a long time? Is it a hassle? And lastly, I seem to read that the Dansco albums are the best way to go, is that correct??</p><p><br /></p><p>Thx <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1285963[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
