[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3027585, member: 90692"]Back in '62, all my coins went into the blue Whitman press-in holders. When I took them out in 2011, I found too many cents, dimes and quarters to show fingerprints and environmental exposure. Nickels were unaffected, not sure why unless the metal is less susceptable. So I put all my Morgans and Peace into air-tites, left PFs in original packaging, and everything else into flips, 3 staples to the open sides, pliers to the staples to flatten and into 20-pocket pages in a binder. Not all are in flips, but all have protection of some sort. And, I never leave coins in tubes or rolls, too much risk of coin-to-coin rub damage. Mint sets from the '60s held up okay but showed toning, one case was cracked but coins not damaged. I try to leave coins in orig. pkg. Spark[/QUOTE]
