<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2460154, member: 112&quot;]Let me ask you a question, do you like the way your coins look now ? And would you like it if they didn&#039;t look that way anymore ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, the odds are pretty high that in time they won&#039;t look that way anymore - unless you store them properly. The albums, I don&#039;t know if the pages and the binders are inert or not, but if they are not inert they can and will be harmful to the coins. And storing the coins out in the open on a table or bookshelf so you can show them off is equally as bad, and maybe even worse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Proper storage of coins involves putting them away in a cool, dark, place, in sealed containers so as to minimize air getting to the coins, along with silica gel packs so as to help control humidity. And if and when you want to show them off then you can go get them out, and do so. But then you have to put them back away again. </p><p><br /></p><p>Coins have several enemies - air (and all of the contaminants it contains), light, temperature changes, and humidity. And if you like the way your coins look, and want to keep them looking that way, then you must do everything you can to minimize all of those things as much as possible. And usually that means no albums, and doing as I suggested above.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is of course your choice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
