[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1348081, member: 24633"]Benjamin, You would be better off leaving the Brown Ikes in the original Mint packaging. The biggest problem you face is haze and discoloration from improper storage. Since you live in Tampa, I realize that the heat and humidity can be the biggest obstacles to overcome. You need to store them in a cool, dry environment. I have 20 of the Brown Ikes that were given to me by my paprents in the mid-70's, and I've lived in Cape Coral (140 miles south of you) since 1978. With the exception of one which has developed slight golden rim toning, they are as bright and sparkling as the day they were struck.
