<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 733603, member: 4552"]Great set there. I do have a little comment to make though. The folders you use should now be replaced with Albums. Those are the ones where you can see both sides of the coins. I really don't like the Dansco or Littleton Ones for Lincoln Cents though. Whitman being blue makes those Copper coins stand out. Just my 2 CENTS.</p><p>The problem with those folders is the manufacturing process. The paper is layed out, glue is washed over the entire sheets, slotted cardboard is layed out over that. Now the rear of those slots is full of this glue but since dry usually has little effect on coins. If in a damp area that glue absorbs some of the moisture and sticks to the rear of the coins. Many kids use that as a trick to hold in well worn coins by spitting on the rear of the coins and then the glue holds them in place. </p><p>Since your now putting together a rather expensive few sets, I really think you should transfer the into Albums. Your kids will like the ability to see both sides too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
