Leave them in the original packaging, but check them from time to time for hazing.

I don't believe the Canadian Maples were packaged in plastic that contained PVC, but I could be wrong. I would also leave these in their original packaging and take the advice of cpm9ball to check on them from time to time.

 

A question to my learned friends. What do I do if I encounter "haze"?

 

leave them in the packaging unless storage is a problem for you this way.

 

I agree,Originality always brings the most premium.

 

Haze on common bullion pieces wouldn't bother me, but if it did then I imagine I would simply sell the pieces and buy others. Alternatively, this is one area in numismatics where I see little to no harm in a quick dip.

 

I agree with that. I have several Canadian 1/2 oz. wolves in the original sealed plastic packets and they are pristine after several years. Not a hint of toning. That's true of my 1950's and 1960's proof sets that are in the original plastic "flat packs". None of them have toned at all.

 

It also depends on what the mint dipped them in after strike.Canada has some of the nicest coins,and I never see nice toned canada coins unless their in the special proof sets.

 

Or on the little paper envelopes. A lot of Colonials/Pre Feds seem to come this way, written in neat pencil script, and many times showing a little bit of its provenance. And even sometimes, an old price is marked. I received two Massachusetts cents this way today... the first envelope said 1.65 in neatly written pencil script, the other 1.20... (Crazy what those coins used to go for!!)

 

must i answer that? ok Harvey says for old times - you see a coin with haze you dont like sell it and buy one without haze

 

Ya know? I've been noticing more and more "Spock" sightings lately.....

 

u forgot ur pills again?

 

I'd be needin' the pills only if I was seein' Elvis....

 

werent both Elvis and spock kings so you are still seeing the king. time for the pills

 

Enjoy & Minty
