<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 391932, member: 8033&quot;]Last Thursday my boss bought a rather large collection. A rather large collection that had been in a basement that flooded actually.</p><p>In this collection there were pages and pages of coins in 2x2s. Some were so moldy you couldn&#039;t even see the coins within.</p><p><br /></p><p>Took me over two days to wade through this mess. It stunk, I was constantly washing my hands, making sure not to touch my eyes etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I separated all of the Indian cents after I pulled out the better Lincolns. Still need to sort the rest of the Indians as it is but in that batch of nasty stuff I have found:</p><p><br /></p><p>A nice VG-F 1862 Indian</p><p>1908-S Solid G4 coin</p><p>1871 AG but not too horrible.</p><p>5 Civil War Tokens. All are VF-XF IMHO</p><p><br /></p><p>Why am I touting the wonders of 2x2s? Well, these were so nasty that many of them literally disingrated when I pulled them from the pages.</p><p>However the plastic was still intact. At least 90% of these coin suffered NO DAMAGE.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would not doubt if these have been in those 2x2s for twenty years. Good old 2x2s. Now I love them even more.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
