When I collected US coins I had all of the original Mint Sets going back to '49 and the Proofs back to '50. The Mint Sets are fairly easy to...
These should help - [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It's a little different than putting zinc plates on the steel rudders and/or steel hulls of ships. That occurs because of the salt water. But...
What you have to watch out for is when they do this. So don't feel too bad :D [ATTACH]

Well yes, but - only if & when you add moisture into the equation. We used to have a member here named Catman, he was an old timer & a dear...
There are things you should realize and be aware of. The mint never sold rolls of coins until the State Quarter series came out. And even then, it...
