<p>[QUOTE=&quot;E Pluribus Unum, post: 3113087, member: 74265&quot;]I expected your reply and rightfully so.&nbsp; I have heard of toning issues with albums if that is the problem to which you are referring.&nbsp; I bought my first Dansco albums many years ago for Liberty Nickels and Indian Cents.&nbsp; I started with my remaining Dansco albumsd only a few years ago so I have not seen any problems yet.&nbsp; There is something to be said about opening a full album and gazing at the coins or showing a friend my collection.&nbsp; I have completed the entire set of nice BU Washington quarters.&nbsp; It took me a long time to complete that series in high grade.&nbsp; I have almost all quarters from 1940 onward in a Dansco album.&nbsp; The quarters from the 1930s I still have in the TPG slabs.&nbsp; I hesitate putting those in my Dansco album.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do have coins from 2011 that I have put into slabs and stored them in a Lighthouse album.&nbsp; I looked at them not long ago and some had some very ugly black toning.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what is up with that.&nbsp; I used black inserts.&nbsp; Black inserts were discontinued.&nbsp; I am wondering if they were discontinued because the chemicals in the black inserts were causing the strange and ugly toning.&nbsp; Too bad - coins look beautiful against a black background. </p><p><br /></p><p>One more note.&nbsp; About a year ago, I looked at my dad&#039;s peace dollar collection that he kept in an album from the 1960s.&nbsp; The coins are put into the album like you would a folder, and then slide the plastic cover over them.&nbsp; So the reverse of the coins a pressed up against green cardboard.&nbsp; They coins looked nice with some toning (actually some had beautiful red and blue toning along the edge).&nbsp; However, when I took the coins out of the album, the reverse sides were completely black!&nbsp; I tried to dip a few but to no avail.&nbsp; The were ruined.</p><p><br /></p><p>Out of curiosity, does anyone have photos of album toned coins to share?&nbsp; Some toning can be attractive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
