<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1271866, member: 112"]The tube doesn't have anything to do with it, it's fine. Hard plastic tubes do not and never have contained anything harmful to coins. So the coins will stay just as they are now if you store them properly. That means in a sealed container like a safe or a Tupperware container with silica gel packs inside to absorb any excess moisture from the air (changing or recharging them as necessary), and store your container in a cool, dark, place where the temperature doesn't change much.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for professional dipping, NCS is about your only option and to be honest the coins aren't worth it. But of you happen to run across a dealer or another collector who has experience dipping coins, and you trust that person, then you could have them dip them for you - one at a time - so you can judge the outcome before doing any others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
