<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ShockWaveSix, post: 1300566, member: 34198&quot;]Having read everything that people have said here, I feel like the usefulness of proper encapsulation is being understated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Allow me to back-story that a little.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am 30 years old, and the majority of my collection are coins that my parents bought for me as a half-hearted hobby back when I was a kid. So things from the early 90&#039;s, etc. The coins were not stored properly for a majority of that time. For the most part, in a shoe box that was located in a part of the house that was not climate controlled. </p><p><br /></p><p>Fast forward to a few months ago when I unboxed them all and took a renewed interest in the collection. Among other things, there are a total of maybe five 1oz Silver Eagles. Two of these, from &#039;92 and &#039;93, look to have been originally from a roll, and were slapped into cheap hinged plastic cases by some dealer years ago. Now all these years later, there is visible darkening and tarnish around the edges of these two coins.&nbsp; By contrast, the other Eagles from the same time period, stored in the same box in the same location, look absolutely beatiful. The only difference that I can see is that these were stored in their proper US Mint capsules.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since everything I am now planning to display is likewise encapsulated, it makes me think i have that much less to worry about.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
