Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 284417, member: 112"]There's two ways to look at this - one is the value aspect of the coins being in an unopened box. Yeah, there are people on ebay who will pay more for them, but you're not gonna get rich off of that "more". You might get a few bucks but that's about it. There are plenty more people who won't pay 1 dime more though. The second way to look at it is this - that cardboard box is loaded with sulphur, and sulphur is harmful to the coins. For that matter, the paper the roll wrapper is made of is loaded with sulphur too. But I can understand someone wanting to collect original rolls. So what to do ? Well, if it were me the first thing I would do is get rid of all those cardboard boxes. Then I would properly store the rolls. That means store them in a cool, dark and dry place where the temperature is as close to a constant as you can get. Store them is a sealed container of some kind with rechargable silica gel packs. Check on the packs regularly until you know how often to recharge them. Then do so religiously. About the only thing you can do that is better for the coins would be to remove them all from the rolls, place each one in either an Air-Tite holder or an Intercept Shield holder and store them the same as described above. And that's about it.[/QUOTE]
