<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1300258, member: 29751&quot;]I know people are trying to be helpful, but this thread has become as if the OP asked if he should display a 1913 Liberty Nickel in direct sunlight with a slight mist of salt water constantly blowing over the coin.&nbsp; C&#039;mon guys.&nbsp; It&#039;s some silver and a little gold.&nbsp; After reading all replies again, I say put them on display to enjoy.&nbsp; If you were displaying a 1933 Double Eagle or a 1913 Liberty Nickel, I might worry more about the slight chance that &quot;light&quot; would hard them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>As I stated earlier, gases, moisture, and <b>large </b>temperature fluctuations are the biggest enemies of metals.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see how anyone could think &quot;light&quot; was on par with those elements.&nbsp; Light will fade paper money, stamps, documents, etc...but I see it having little effect on metal if the other elements are controlled (sorry Kasia, I don&#039;t buy the &quot;water running over metal in light or dark&quot; study...call me a skeptic!). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
