<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 4529719, member: 92655"]Yeah... Sadly that is the case with Whitman folders. I had a Mercury dime book that I started in the 1970's and finished twenty years later. Put it on the shelf and looked at it years later to find many of my coins were now tarnished black. That was one of the things that brought me here to Coin Talk in fact. There is sulfur in cardboard and it is that sulfur combined with the adhesives they use to build those books that attacks our coins over time. Sadly, it is not a reversible problem either. Only redeeming thing is that most of the coins in your 75 and up book should be replaceable at a reasonable cost. Sorry you hard to learn that one the hard way.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
