[QUOTE="Oldhoopster, post: 3152978, member: 84179"]I completely agree with you about circulated coins. For a novice, it's Certainly better than leaving them in the PVC flips and tossing them in a box or drawer I get a kick out of the " no albums" mantra. It reminds me of the old HS health teacher telling you that taking that first puff of an illegal plant will turn you into a raging drug addict. I agree that some coins can be damaged by albums but can't they also be damaged by flips and in slabs if they aren't properly stored? I still have some Lincoln's in a Whitman folder that came in a Sears coin collecting kit that I got for Christmas in the early 70s. The coins still look fine What's next? Telling people not to use acetone because one scientific paper showed that small amounts of copper acetate could form if you allowed the acetone to completely evaporate after soaking pure copper for long periods of time?[/QUOTE]
