[QUOTE="jody526, post: 13518, member: 578"]OK, I know what you're talking about. I collect one series as a constantly improving set. I'm always finding a "better" example of a date/MM and then I have to take the old example out of the album and place the new one in. Then I have to put the old one in a flip and put it in a notebook or box. Just an ongoing chore, I suppose, but one that I enjoy. About the "green slime" on copper coins. Well, it definately has to come off. The safest way I know of is to use pure acetone. This can be purchased at hardware stores.
