<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tbirde, post: 3272, member: 85&quot;]The plastic pages, foam, and possibly the flips, may be deteriorating and breaking down chemically. The resulting PVC (polyvinyl chloride) will ruin the coins, eventually giving them a corrosive green goo coating. A rinse in nail polish remover may initially help but you don&#039;t want to rub them or harshly clean them in a way that &#039;shines&#039; them up. Others may suggest better methods.</p><p>Forget the software, for now anyway. A trip to the library may produce a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins in the Reference section. The 20th century volume may be the only one available there, though. You can also find used copies and earlier volumes at a decent price at Ebay.com and Half.com. List the coins by Country, Denomination and Date on a paper to take with you first. Excel is a good way to organize them also. You can also offer the list, in whatever format, to people online that have the neccessary catalogs and would be glad to help. I&#039;d leave the sets as they are if they are sealed until you find out more about them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Brad[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
