[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1918419, member: 15929"]This sounds like a lot of work for State Quarter Proof sets and state quarter mint bags and I do realize that its the grandfathers collection but if that is what the collection primarily consists of it could prove to be an effort that simply is not "worth the effort". I think it would be best for the OP to catalog everything before undertaking a restoration on coins which may ultimately have little value in the long run. For example, a 1999 CnClad proof set that got wet would have the original cardboard box destroyed. Since the plastic lens themselves are not sealed, water would in turn destroy the inserts which would leave the OP with nothing more than common proof coins which bring very little value in the after market. I'm not trying to be harsh as much as I'm presenting the practical approach. Catalog first then evaluate what needs to be done.[/QUOTE]
