<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 985475, member: 26302"]Ftm, Desertgem hit it on the head. The old holders have to go, (don't worry they didn't add much value), and you need to clean them with mild soap and water and pat dry. Then acetone to get rid of any contamination and rinse again with water, (distilled), and pat dry. Then put them into new holders. Go to a local coin shop and get archival type holders.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins can go through a lot, but they will need a little care after a fire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
