<p>[QUOTE="mikenoodle, post: 355394, member: 307"]Doug is exactly right on this one. Regardless of whether or not the albums materials will react with the coins metals, the coin cannot be placed into said album without touching the surfaces. In cases of high end MS coins, it is these tiny hairlines that downgrade MS 67 and up coins into the MS 65 and worse range. Worse yet in Dansco type albums are the plastic sliders that "protect" the coins from fingers etc. in the albums. The mere loving of these slides against the coins is enough to damage your better mint state coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if Danscos were safe to place the oins into, I have personally been very disappointed with what my ASE and Lincoln Memorial sets after a few years. The "Album toning" is quite unappealing, and I personally wish I had stored them in another way.</p><p><br /></p><p>just my 2¢[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
