Will admit to buying a colored 100 yen coin at a flea market years ago. Dropped the case once (as you can see)[ATTACH]

Please don't do this.
Nowhere does Dave "demean" anyone. You can lose respect for someone without demeaning them.
So what do you think might work, Kurt?
Looked at his profile and see that he thinks CT "coddles" newbies!
That was from other work not coin related. Don't want to make them shiny bright, just lighten some of the really dark toned coppers I see that...
Go on an e-bay shopping spree : - )

I'm hung up on ancients right now so how about a really pristine Athena Owl and an Alexander Tet to start off.
Accepted. Now, since circulated coins showing wear would be REALLY suspect if they showed up as red, what would be a good way to simply lighten...
I know, I know...it's like the lines on the Nazca plateau...ancient aliens!!!
Let me have a stab at it. If you scratch a coin, you displace some metal. That metal shows up as raised metal to the side of the scratch...OK?
OK, I'll try again. The sealed slab will restrict the refreshing of any oxygen trapped before the slabbing and some of the oxygen might react...
In all fairness to the OP, they aren't intending to bury the coins, they are intending to make up sets for folks who might want them many moons...
A trick question...right...keep it away from oxygen 1) seal that sucker up 2) put stuff around it that will react with oxygen.
It's in the mail...of course I will respect you in the morning...
Thought we were talking about when they WERE legal tender.
I can see displaced metal on the "T", seems to be a scratch, probably caused by a staple.
