The_Duke Pillar of the Community United States 1745 Posts	Posted 09/02/2011 8:47 pm I have been acquiring MS Roosevelt dimes (proofs and silver proofs included) to go into a Dansco 8125. I have well over half sitting in 2x2s. I would like to spend a rainy day assembling the book. Should I do anything special before they go in? Acetone, water rinse, etc? Report this Post to the Staff

I would just put 'em in all at the same time to reduce rub marks from the slides. That is my opinion and I'm stickin' to it. Report this Post to the Staff

littleboy Pillar of the Community United States 764 Posts	Posted 09/03/2011 01:34 am keep them the way they are but I recommend wearing gloves when you put them in. the oil from your skin will cause them to tone unevenly over time. Report this Post to the Staff
GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 09/03/2011 09:21 am I like to vacuum the album, to get as much as the paper dust off as possible, before putting the coins in. Albums have a lot of paper dust under the top cover of the page, when you take the slides in a and out this dust is dragged to the holes where the coins are. This is very important for proof coins. Paper dust on a proof coin will attract moisture and over time a spot will develop. I agree with others, do not touch the coins with bare hands. And if possible have all the coins for each section/slide to limit the number of times the slide go over each coin. As to the acetone or water rinse I would not do that. Acetone bath is used to correct a specific problem not a general procedure. Report this Post to the Staff

I like the point to wait until I have most (all of the coins). At least I should have each section (as defined by the slide) complete before I move them into the Dansco. This is a one and done album, no upgrades. Report this Post to the Staff
