<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1315312, member: 112&quot;]Bad idea for a few reasons. First there is the staple issue, about all that needs said on that. More worrisome is the cardboard issue. The cardboard is a problem for 2 reasons by itself. One is that cardboard contains sulphur - bad for coins. Two is that cardboard produces cardboard dust, also bad for coins. The dust can cause scratches/hairlines on the coin, and it can also cause spotting on the coin. Third is that the thin mylar provides little to no protection for the coin. Coins can be dinged or scratched right through that thin mylar window.</p><p><br /></p><p>So what I am saying is that a coin worth protecting needs actual protection. The hard plastic coin holders provide real protection. And they have no harmful effects of their own like albums, cardboard 2x2s and coin flips (PVC and non-PVC) have.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is estimated that 80% or more of all raw coins are problem coins. Do you know why most of them are problem coins ? It&#039;s because the majority of collectors used improper or bad storage methods and coin holders. And what&#039;s worse is - they still do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
