<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 414934, member: 112&quot;]I have posted many times that albums are not a good way to store coins. Sure, they good in an album - but bad for the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why ? First and foremost because you have to commit the cardinal sin of coin collecting just to get a coin into an album - touch the surface of the coin. How else do you push it down into the hole ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Second problem is the plastic slides - they can scratch the coin. Third problem is the coins are exposed to the air much more than almost any other storage method. And humidity, even if the album is archival material, it is still basically made of dry paper - and dry paper sucks up moisture like a sponge. Not good for coins !</p><p><br /></p><p>Fourth problem - how do you minimize exposure to air and humidity ? Yeah I suppose you could keep them in a plastic bag, but pastic bags are not impervious to air or moisture. And once inside, it is trapped there.</p><p><br /></p><p>So IMO - any way you look at it, albums are not a good idea.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
