I agree. The slides do scratch easy. I have replaced more than a few slides in my older albums. However, proper handling can limit the problem. I certainly handle them better now than I did thirty years ago.
Quote: As long as you seat the coin below the surface of the (open) slide you will be fine. The slide will not contact the coin while closing
Until you want to remove coin from album, thus having to remove both upper and lower slides. I'm talking about Whitman albums, ( No Experience In Dansco ) this might result in slide marks.
Heh. I remember when I got my first Dansco album I had no idea what the plastic slides even were or how to remove them in order to insert the coins. Those albums should really come with instructions...
Huh, I always put the coin as close to the Hole and then used a NON PVC cion bag to gently push it into it's space to where the "slider" will go over it.
How "NOT" to insert your coins into your new Dansco Album!
Depends on the coins, for circulated albums that's fine. Really though that's the fatal flaw of albums to begin with, something is going to have to push the coin into place

Remove top slide, turn page over, apply gentle pressure to the coin through the back slide. The coin may drop out. If it doesn't it will now be set deeper into the page so that it will not make contact with the back slide as you remove the slide.
