<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1881345, member: 15309"]I think you are confusing albums for folders. Albums have holes and acetate slides on each side so that both sides of the coin are visible after insertion. IMO, there are three dangers involved with albums. The first two are related to the insertion process. First, it is possible to impart finger prints or hairlines on the coin while putting the coin in the hole. Second, the coin can be scratched by the acetate slides resulting in what are known as "album slide marks."
