CoinDan98 Pillar of the Community United States 1053 Posts	Posted 11/07/2013 9:57 pm Quote: I use the cotton lined 2X2 envelopes. I guess I'm old school. What I would really like to do is store them in a coin cabinet in felt lined trays. Like I said I'm old school. Always wanted one of those... Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/09/2013 12:17 am Out of well over 100 Albums, most are Whitman. Most are in Zip Lock Plastic bags. NONE in many, many years show any signs of corrosion, staining, tarnishing, etc. All look the way they were when I put them in. Should still be the same in a hundred or so years but if not, I'll let you know. Report this Post to the Staff

ambro51 Valued Member United States 179 Posts	Posted 11/14/2013 12:07 am Yes that's my 30s era Royal Portable. It got me through college (70s) and has written a book. The trick is feeding the envelope in you tape down the bottom to hold it in place. You know most of the delight with very old copper is holding it in your hand. Plus, the visibility is Sooo much improved. Report this Post to the Staff
meddin New Member United States 28 Posts	Posted 11/14/2013 11:55 am I have never used cotton lined envelopes. Where do you get them? Are the safe/of archival quality? Report this Post to the Staff
