[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4766269, member: 112"]I'd suggest you start teaching her about archival storage while she's young, it will serve her well for the rest of her life. Ya see, coin albums are about the worst thing ever invented for coins, this is because of what they make them out of - cardboard, paper, and glue - all of which are harmful to coins.
