<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 287560, member: 4552"]I presently have over 100 Whitman Classic Albums.

One more step. howeverl, it works. For some reason as a kid as soon as plastic bags became available I started putting my (coin folders back then) in them. Then slowly graduated to Albums and them the Whitman Classic Albums and now using zip lock bags. From somewhere in the 1940's to now, no problems with toning, corroding, tinting, rusting, etc. All coins look the way they did when I put them there. </p><p>The main thing I'm sorry about is way back then there was only folders with that glue stuff on the back of the slots. Of course it helped when you put a well worn coin there and it would fall out so you spit on the glue and it would hold the coin in place. Not real smart but as a kid I just didn't know everything about everything as I do now. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
