They are both in pretty good condition, no rust. Which brings me to my question, what is the best way to preserve these steel coins so that they don't rust?

You might also try storing them in AirTite holders. They are not truly airtight - but they keep out most of it. __________________ knowledge ..... share it   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
