100% agree! ME TOO! I bought a few of those from you over the years and found many myself. It takes a certain set storage conditions to produce...
Nope, right to VC on this test coin. VC will remove gummy stuff like that almost instantly.
More of an experiment for me, the coin is not worth saving IMO. The coin had both verdigris (obverse) and a gummy residue (reverse). I spent about...
It's a one-sided woody, fairly common in 1980. We believe those are "roller lines", i.e. impurities pressed into the coin from dirt acquired...

So happens, I took a picture before I cracked it too. The roll was tight! [ATTACH]
Thanks for your post - quite interesting. What percentage of your rolls do you find corroded/ruined from improper storage? I'm probably...
That's a very plausible conclusion based on the empirical evidence. While not fully "air tight", it certainly would increase the concentration of...
This is fact - I've had a couple years ago that were black inside with corroded coins. Protecting your coins from air/moisture is critical to...
Compared to the tube and OBW rolls, the coins inside the foil rolls were extremely bright and lustrous. Here's the two enders (both were tails...
The rolls were very tight inside the wrappers and took some work to remove without tearing. Even the end coins were still bright! [ATTACH]...
I had several rolls of 1962 Lincoln cents sent to me. Out of the lot two of the rolls were internally wrapped in foil. I've had a few of these...

And some polka dots to go with it! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]

This progression pair! A dealer/friend found these both in a single OBW roll. These came from an extremely rare event to end up in the same roll!...
Another regret.... [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I kept a PCGS PR-67 that wasn't quite as nice. :( [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Appears to be struck-through, the damage extends across the devices. Since the coin is not MS, most likely it's just strange PMD. Odd things happen!
