<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1275273, member: 112&quot;]As said already, it&#039;s both. But there&#039;s a lot more to it than just toning. First there is getting the coin into the album. One way or another you have to touch the surface of the coin to even get it into the album. Many, many coins have been damaged and/or fingerprinted by this alone. Then you have the issues of cardboard dust. It&#039;s probably caused more coins to develop spots than anything else ever has. Cardboard dust also scratches coins and hairlines them. Then there&#039;s the slides themselves, they also scratch and cause hairlines on the coins. You also have the issues of moisture retention, the cardboard acts as a magnet to humidity, and chemicals used in the making of the cardboard.</p><p><br /></p><p>Add all of these things up and you have arguably the worst thing ever invented for coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
