<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3038449, member: 92655&quot;]Hope this cut and paste works. I asked the very same question when I joined here... This was a Whitman&#039;s album I purchased in the 1980&#039;s. The album was started in 1960 and I purchased it with maybe a third of the holes plugged. The dimes that have the black unsightly tarnish are the dimes that have been in the book since 1960. It was explained to me that the cardboard and the glues used create this ugly tarnish/toning issue. The good info I received from folks in the know here gave me pause enough to stop the degradation and find an &quot;archival quality&quot; book. Seems that is the key phrase here. Archival quality materials don&#039;t produce the gasses that cause this damage to our coins.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/0ce6d1d9-a511-4ea9-9efa-b916b962d5ea-jpeg.754029/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
