<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3231180, member: 112&quot;]Safe is a very relative term. Coin albums are arguably the worst thing ever invented for coins. Pretty much all cardboard coin albums are saturated with sulfur and the sulfurous gasses put off by that cardboard are the worst thing there is that you can expose your coins to. Then there is the the cardboard dust that all cardboard puts off, the albums where the coins fall out like those mentioned in this thread, the infamous scratches from the slides in albums, and the fact that all cardboard not only attracts but retains moisture from the very air and thus exposes your coins to that as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>All of these things I mentioned above are very well known and always have been. And yet coin albums are among the most popular of ways to store your coins - and all because people like the way they look. They like the presentation aspect.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just imagine, if there was a skin creme, or lotion, or makeup, or clothes, or whatever, that made ya look absolutely great - but was very well know for causing cancer - would you go ahead and use it anyway just because it made ya look good ? </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that&#039;s exactly what you&#039;re doing with your coins when you use cardboard coin albums.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
