KarenHolcomb Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 They don't look too bad. Ive seen a lot worse. Don't rub on or clean your coins if it can be avoided. Especially ones that don't already look bad from contact with other objects. As long as the coin is well struck without much wear it is potentially valuable.

coinsandmedals Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 So long as the folders are dry and not moldy it should be fine. Judging by their appearance I don’t think you’ll have any issues. You may want to pop one out and just make sure the backside of the album looks fine under the coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just reordered one and haven't recd it yet but several guys here say they are pretty cool. You can also soak them in oil. I had been told Olive oil but then someone said it spoils and hurts the coin. Whatever you do, don't believe the hype about Verdi-gone or whatever it's called. Complete waste of money and it isn't cheap. Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
