<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3027441, member: 92655&quot;]I have to admit. I been collecting a long time and prior to joining this forum, I was not aware cardboard albums were acidic to our coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>The folder below is a 1960 Whitman folder. I purchased it mid 1980’s and it was maybe a third full. The dimes that came with the book are readily identifiable. They are the dark and unsightly toned dimes. It’s a low quality set and I haven’t thought about it much. But I do consider myself as temporarily charged with keeping this history safe for the next generation. Not to mention, low quality or not there are a few pricey pieces in here.</p><p><br /></p><p>So I am now wondering about this negative effect that cardboard has over silver. Do these acidic properties negate over time? The book was made in 1960 more than a half century ago. I rather like that the book is near as old as me, but not to the detriment of the dimes. Is cardboard forever damaging to silver?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]754029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]754030[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
