    So, hope you’re all well on the East Coast. If any of you are back online, how did your collections fair in the storm?

    My collection is fine but no power. I'm sitting in my car right now charging my phone. Actually I added to my collection today believe it or not. I went through my moms hoard to change and found a 1968s cent and a 1948 dime. I went through close to $400 in change that she said was in her closet for years. The newes coin I found was a 2006 penny.

    Great news Arthur.

    If any have damaged collections, maybe the conservation experts can chime in. I guess if coins got wet, it would be best to get them out of their holders and after allowing them to dry, give them an acetone bath.

    Its better to have coins instead of power. That is why I only use power to look at my coins.
