Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 720848, member: 4552"]I suspect there is something that should be looked into by you. As a general rule coins in Albums don't normally get that bad unless there is something in the area present to create this effect. I've had coins in Albums for many, many years, Many for as long as there have been Albums. All my Albums are in Zip Lock plastic bags. Very little to no air gets to those coins. From your photos I would venture to guess you have some really high humidity and or lots of something else present in the area where those are stored. Dansco is a rather decent Album and most collectors that use them do not have that problem. To change to air tights and other similar products are rather time consuming and expensive. Don't know where you got your Album from and if anyone ever changed the plastic slides in there. My suggestions are as follows: To play safe put coins into a new Album. Or find a dealer that sells the slides and change all of yours. Or Assume nothing is wrong with your Album and simply place you Albums in Zip Lock Plastic Bags. The Gallon sizes are the ones I use. Push out as much air as possibly and seal. They are easy to open if and when you want. I presently have over 100 Whitman Albums all in those Zip Lock bags and no, absolutely NO problems.[/QUOTE]
