Sounds like PVC to me.

Rinse them with acetone and then a 50/50 mix of ethyl alcohol and
distilled water. After the rinsing you will be able to see if any other
damage has been done.

Cardboard albums are no good for quality coins.

I use and recommend these...

They can be use with the plastic 2x2s and with coins in capsules.

If you want to use flips, use Saflips from E.T. Kointainer.

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried the acetone rinse and it has
improved their appearance quite a bit.

I will take a look at the Eagle coin holders and Safips.
