<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 463551, member: 4552"]I'm a little confused. Are you using FOLDERS OR ALBUMS. Folders are the ones where you can not see the reverses of the coins. Albums usually refer to the ones with plastic slides where you can see both sides of the coins. Folers are OK for kids, amateurs and/or people that really just want to have fun. If your planning on keeping those coins for a long time, hopefully you mean Albums. From the dates it sounds like your using Whitman Folders though. Most modern day Albums are from 1909 to present or almost present pending manufacturer. That shinny stuff in the back of the slots for coins is the glue from the manufacturing process and not really great for coins for long periods of time. </p><p>And if that was in fact a Zip Lock plastic bag, don't let people scare you with the old PVC stuff. I checked with the organization that makes Zip Lock Bags and they said NO PVC in thier products. Just more of what is usually known as old wives tales.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
