<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrz1988, post: 715556, member: 21121&quot;]Hey everybody, this is my first post!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I&#039;m relatively new to coin collecting, taking it back up after I started in my childhood.&nbsp; I&#039;m 21 now and started a nice Lincoln cent collection, and have searched about 25,000 cents since I started.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bought a couple of the nice Whitman albums for my coins, which I think look tons nicer than the boxes of 2x2 flips I had them in.&nbsp; The problem is, they include all the proof-only S cents from 75-date, which I figure would be dangerous to keep in that type of album.&nbsp; I have about 10 proof sets my grandparents bought me since I first gained interest, and have thought about starting to buy single proof cents to put in the albums as well.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t broken any proof sets in fear of damaging something, and am nervous in general about putting proof coins in a Whitman album where they would likely remain for decades.</p><p><br /></p><p>My main question is, how safe are the Whitman albums for storing proof coins?&nbsp; I don&#039;t want them to degrade after a few years... my 1999 proof set is already starting to tone in the mint packaging (which I assume I made invisible damage to as a kid).&nbsp; The holes are so unsightly to me that I just HAVE to fill them, so if I couldn&#039;t stand it anymore, what precautions could I take to reduce or eliminate any color change?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Matt[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
