<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 886050, member: 15199&quot;]I guess a question would be the purpose of the album storage. If for instance it was to show people in a way nicer than a binder with plastic pockets, and since the coins are not valuable, go for it. Sure purists may shriek, but I know a serious collector who likes to shoot buffalo nickles from 50 yds. He likes his collection of them in different calibers <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, modern tape will not damage the metal of the coin, but it will alter any toning process so that in a period of time, even with the tape removed, the toning/patina pattern will be obvious. I bought some archive &quot;sticky&quot; dots from a museum place that are used to hold things in case of earthquakes, etc. and they work very well and won&#039;t damage the surface, but they will still produce the altered toning/patina effect. Just to ward off the comments,</p><p><br /></p><p>DO NOT DO THIS TO A RARE or VALUABLE COIN&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
