<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LRL, post: 505514, member: 16881&quot;]Here&#039;s a story. My mother-in-law passed away 2 years ago. She was 89. She collected coins from circulation since around 1960, pennies, nickels, dimes, and halves. My wife and her sister were the only heirs so they split all the coins up. My wife let her sister decide who got what. My SIL, who is 75, didn&#039;t want anything that wasn&#039;t gold or silver. So the wife ended up with a Lincoln penny collection, in 2 folders missing about 10 coins, a complete Jefferson nickel and Rosevelt dime collection in folders, a complete Kennedy half collection and about 25 Eisenhower dollars. Her sister, took a mercury dime collection in a folder(about 90% full, a half a dozen old silver dollars and a very nice 1860 something $5 gold coin, probably 10 pre-1920 quarters, and about 50 loose silver dimes(mercs and Roosies). </p><p>Anyways, to get to the point, I was down to my sister-in-laws house and asked if I could see the gold coin as I&#039;ve never held one before. So she goes to the big freezer out in the garage, unlocks it, and brings out a plastic ice cream container of coins and a plastic bag wrapped folder of mercs! They were all frosted over! I couldn&#039;t understand why she would put them in all that humidity when she could put them in her safety deposit box, which she has about ten blocks away in this small town.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
