<p>[QUOTE="Inspector43, post: 4529792, member: 89213"]The older Whitman folders were not as much a problem as some of the newer ones. There was a process change sometime in the past. I have a set of IHC's that are in a folder with Copyright 1940. They are in the same condition as they were when I started putting them in in the 40's. My Canadian Small Cents were spoiled by the folder which was Copyright 1950. The difference, as I see it, was the gluing process. The older folders (CC1940) had the glue put on the cardboard that has the holes for the coins. Someone probably got a product improvement award for the change to putting the glue on the paper backing - process improvement. But, now there is dried glue left exposed to the coin. Thence, discoloring. I think they changed it back later - but I am not sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
