Cws Gardmaster Or Uni-Safe Unimaster Coin Albums

I have switched out of using coin pages and albums that have chlorinated vinyl plastics in their manufacture.
There is a plasticiser agent in PVC to soften the material. Over time the plasticiser gasses out and condenses onto the coins. Because the pages loose their softening agent, the pages weaken and eventually tear at the welding joints, or at the binder holes.

Another very annoying problem that I used to have is that the cardboard / mylar 2x2's that I still use, would stick inside the PVC album pockets. Occasionally, if I wanted to remove the coin, the 2x2 and the album page would have to be destroyed in the worst cases. I am very glad to see that problem behind me for good!

Choose a clear plastic material that does not use clear PVC (poly vinyl chloride).
The album pages I use are made of clear NON plasticised poly propylene.

Now, almost all of my coins are in cardboard / mylar 2x2's in album pages made of polypropylene, not PVC.

I found that the UniSafe folders left a white ring on the edges of the coins, nothing permanent, but still a white ring around every coin in the folder doesn't look good.

I use the NUMIS removable sheets in the binders - they are great, no issues in the past 2 years since I switched.
