I have stored my coins in the basement in the past and ruined some of them. People have to remember that the proof set holders ARE NOT air tight,...
Two years ago you had a better chance of getting silver at melt value. After doing some checking, getting silver for 13x face is a pretty fair...
I think the coin market is slowing, other than bulk silver and maybe wheat cents. But the ebay thing is more like a self-inflicted gunshot wound....

A FEW bucks?:confused:
I'm currently doing the same thing. As I upgrade many of my coins, I feel the need to upgrade the way they are stored. I was wondering if anyone...
