Dead insects (beetles/butterflies/moths/walking sticks etc.) will last for thousnds of years....if properly stored in airtight museum drawers/in cabinet/with napthalene to prevent pests from eating body. Also must be stored in dark....light will fade colours. However, coins if properly stored will last forever. Neat thing about AV coinage, even when found in shipwrecks, these coins are still as struck<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />....no adverse damage from saltwater. While the AR 8 Reales etc., are heavily corroded<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]555684[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]555685[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]555686[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
