I knew there has been a dampness problem in there for years. On occasion, I would hang a Damp-Rid bag and try to tame the mildew problem. What I was NOT aware of, there was a shoulder bag buried in there with coins from &quot;My Father&#039;s Collection&quot;</p><p>It basically destroyed the silver (turned blue)</p><p>and the copper (turned green)</p><p>I mean fully crystallized and many stuck together. The books were not just damp, they had droplets of water on them. The Red Book dripped when I picked it up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie15" alt=":arghh:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have not slept well since finding these coins. I keep imagining all the nights they were in that closet marinating, possibly for as long as 8 years. (because I found the 2012 RB with them)</p><p>Oddly, when I was looking at the photos, half of me (the professional artist) is admiring the gorgeous &quot;strategically organic&quot; look of the verdigris. The other half of me is appalled because it&#039;s a coin. My job, at Disney World (when I was not laid off) is to actually MAKE things look like they have verdigris, patinas, rust and aging.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1211250[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211251[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211252[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211253[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211254[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211255[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211256[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211257[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1211259[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
