<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1062781, member: 26302"]I bought a Dansco album once and on a few of the "lines" of coins all of the coins had scratch marks in the direction of the plastic slides. Doug is correct that it can happen, depending on the plastic strip placement, the depth of the hole, and how often and ho carefully you opened the slide. I would always make sure the book is flat, I tapped on the line to be opened, and carefully opened it. I uses clamshells in flips placed in pages for better coins to look at.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only atmospheric chemicals to worry about would tone your coins. Corrosion is not a concern usually unless you touch them. Modern coins can be damaged by oil in your fingers if left long term. I like ancients, not much you can do to harm them, so I can get my hands as dirty as I like! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
