Help! Old Coin Album With PVC Pockets!

1.All coins removed--luckily they were only lower value UK coins but 'old friends' none the less!
2.Read a few pages on using acetone so will do that tomorrow when the shops open.
3.Yep
4.No heat source anywhere near the album which was in metal deed box.
5.
6.Will do.
7.A 'Collecta C1 Coin Album' with varying size page leaves-----From my early coin collecting times in the 1960's when PVC was 'state of the art'!! Album was probably older than some of the coins!
No particular reason to use blue--14 colours to choose from in the format toolbar and blue was one of them.

Will use acetone outdoors!
About 60 coins affected--mostly just 'sticky' at the moment.
Probably the worst affected were these two..

Also, again you should check the area or item where those coins were stored. Possible contamination is PVC but as a rule that is overstated on Copper materials. In many locations where Sulfur rich coal is used in Fossil fired power stations, unless they are using the latest scrubbers and precipitators, much of the sulfur comes out as SO or SO2. In the air, with Moisture that becomes an acid. If you've heard of Acid Rain in some areas, that is the basic reason. If your coins are of Copper and for any reason exposed to such an atmospher, that process wil continue unless those coins are suffieciently protected. In such areas it is noticed by the same greenish discoloration on any Copper, Brass, Bronze pipes, statues, etc.
If your now placing those coins in an Album, I suggest you keep those Albums in a Zip lock type plastic bag. Push out as much air as possible.
