<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 703079, member: 4552&quot;]Coins kept in a vacuum for an extensive period of time and then exposed to a new invironment will suddenly turn to dust, become really ugly or jsut really sick. The reason is when they were first put away, the germs and bacteria of that age are different than today. Their metalic makeup will not have a method to fight off new germs and bacteria. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>All excessively silly of course. I&#039;ve been putting most of my coin in plastic bags for a long, long time. I started this way back when I was a kid. Many rolls of coins have had the tops taped shut to make sure no air leaks in. When Zip Lock bags were invented I started to use those for all my Albums. I push out as much air as possible, then seal. I constantly open those to upgrade coins though and so far no problems of any kind. I recently opened some rolls of 1943 Steel Cents to examine them for possible errors since they were put there when I was a kid and never heard of error coins. Those too show no signs of anything.</p><p>Naturally I tried not to breath on them since I just had a Burger with Onions.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
