[QUOTE="16ga, post: 26066080, member: 121714"]First I’m talking about one sided folders and not coin albums. I have most of my memorial cents in a whitman folder. The folder itself is then sealed in a ziplock bag with other folders. I believe the folder itself was from the 90s or later. These all came from circulation so most are no better then AU. Lately I’ve noticed the backs of the nicer coins are becoming dull and darker. I know folders can cause toning and discoloration and that whitmans albums are known to cause it but are their folders worse then other brands? I have the rest of the memorials and my shield cents in a Harris folder and wheat cents in 2 littleton folders. None of these folders show any sign of effecting the coins. Now I don’t want to pay for an album or such for coins that are only worth 1 cent each. I have an empty littleton memorial cent folder and a stack of unlabeled Harris folders that I think have enough slots to replace this one with. Should I switch these coins out to one of the other brands or is that unlikely to make a difference? Is so is either of the folders more likely to be safer for them? Which brand is best at protecting coins.[/QUOTE]
