Sacagawea Dollars - Let's Just Stop

<p>[QUOTE="Histman, post: 3022653, member: 75066"]Being a coin collector with a Type-A personality and slight bit of OCD has caused me major headaches? I have every (US) denomination of coin in my collection going back to at least the Civil War Era, with many sets being complete. Because they were in circulation I started collecting the presidential and Sacagawea coins. I was glad to see the presidents end because of the tarnishing issue. That is my issue with the Sacs. I have all of my series of coins in Dansco Albums, except the ASE. Since I don't put them in capsules they are subject to whatever protection Dansco provides. I've just noticed that the gold dollars tend to tarnish a lot quicker than any other coin, even in the so-called protective environment of the Dansco album. Thus, my dilemma: my OCD drives me to continue collecting them as long as they are issued (just like the Kennedy halves), but my A-type personality hates them because they do not remain pristine. I know, I know, my problem. I was just venting my frustration and looking for a kindred soul. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
