I recently purchased a partial album of silver eagles. The album is a
'mint' album I think maybe Harris made them, there are green tarnish
spots on a couple of the eagles. I have the balance to complete the
album but am cautious due to the tarnished coins.
I like the concept of the album, at least for these coins, and was
looking at (?) better makes. I've reviewed Dansco and Littleton. With
a slip case a corrosion pages the Littleton looks like the best
choice.
Might anyone have ideas of manufacturers in album format that offer
assistance in corrosion protection.

Dansco sells what they call an "Archival Quality Slipcase" with
"Silver-Guard Corrosion-Inhibiting Protection." They come in six sizes and
retail for $9.45 each, according to the latest price list I have.
I don't know for sure how these work, but they talk about a "2-mil coating
for years of protection." I might guess that they work on the same
principle as storage chests for sterling silverware, which contain
sacrificial silver.

I use Dansco and Intercept Shield.
My Silver Eagles in the Dansco album got toned after a few years (although I
had the anti-corrosion sleeve and pages...).
The coins in the Intercept Shield albums look like new!
I am not sure if the I.S albums are still produced but if they are I'd go
with them.
