I have been throwing brilliant red coins into this sealed cask for about7-8 years now. All circ finds, mostly only shields. There are some wheats, memorials, a few dimes. Nothing bigger because they won't fit. Someone around here says that they won't save, they are as RD as the day they went in. I have also mixed a few toners also. 50 years down the line, will they all still be red?
I believe that they are mostly safe in the state and environment that they are in. If I move to say OK, I think that they would turn in an instant.
