<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 906921, member: 4552"]Not really a great solution. If you think a 2x2 is safer than an Album, try this. Pick up any 2x2 sealed with staples. Place it to your mouth and blow. Not on the flipping end but on a stapled end. You'll notice your breath goes right throughl meaning those too are not safe from your invironmental problems. Most Albums, regardless of manufacturer, are similar as to air getting to the coins only a bit easier than your 2x2. </p><p>I use Whitman Albums, not because their better, just started with them and looks nice to see all the same. However, well knowing air, gasses, moisture, etc can attact almost any metal, I place all my Albums in a gallon size Zip Lock Plastic bag. Push out as much air as possible and seal. </p><p>Not one coin has had a problem toning, tarnishing, corroding, staining, etc in many, many years with this process. </p><p>If you leave your 2x2's, Albums, etc out in the open, live in a high humidity area, no or little protection from your invironment, you should expect problems.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
