<p>[QUOTE="JrCoin, post: 577727, member: 18390"]On the flip side, would you recommend certain albums/folders for particularly attractive "corrosion"? I love a nice patina...for my less prized coins I use H.E. Harris and Whitman folders. I think the Whitmans seem to tone coins faster. It's hard to judge sometimes. I can understand the desire to keep a coin jem white, particularly a frosty american eagle proof dollar. In that particular set it seems that toned coins are more rare, the ones I've seen are probably lower grade MS that have been artificially "doctored." While interesting to look at, I don't find the neon glow look particularly attractive. I like airtite coin holders, they are alot cheaper than tpg encapsulation and offer a fair amount of protection. </p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.coinsupplystore.com/site/1648271/page/785916#Air" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinsupplystore.com/site/1648271/page/785916#Air" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinsupplystore.com/site/1648271/page/785916#Air</a></p><p> </p><p>I wish airtite had "albums" for complete series collections but I might eventually add their storage boxes to my collection.
