<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1850924, member: 66"]Depends on how they are stored. Like any paper product it will tend to stay in good shape if it is stored away in a cool dark place with moderate humidity (Paper likes a higher humidity than coins.) Even newspaper, if kept in the dark and stable temperature can last for decades without yellowing. I've seen newspapers from the 30's that are still like new because they have been kept in the dark the whole time. I have one of the GSA dollars still in its original white box (opened) that has been in a cabinet since 1972 and it is still like new.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
