<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1973755, member: 15199&quot;]It is hard to believe that PVC plasticized pages were accepted as Ok long ago. The very early coinmaster albums had little plasticizer, but they cracked, so I gather more chemicals were used. These were dominant for several years, and then they went to non-PVC pages, which are sold today for replacement . If you show any PVC damaged coins you should. If they were in hot , dry areas, usually nothing bad happened. Live in a wet cool area, the chemicals evaporated very slowly and had plenty of time to cause problems. You can remove each coin and put it into an acetone rinse to remove any PVC chemicals, but not any existing damage. I like those albums and have upgraded all my pages.&nbsp; Doug has posted how to use acetone correctly. I agree with him, except I do not end with a water rinse, I end with the acetone rinse to displace any water. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
