[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1918488, member: 15929"]Unfortunately, these all look to be modern coins which really have little to no value in the current market. Attempts to restore them would be an effort in futility from a "collectible" standpoint as most are considered worth only face value. The Rolled coins are ruined since you cannot "unroll" them to dry the coins as their value only exists as "original rolls". As such, they will simply rot in those paper rolls. The bagged coins, once removed from the bags, are nothing more than face value coinage and if left alone, will suffer the same fate as the rolled coins. The proof coins will probably suffer the same fate since they are nearly worthless without that packaging. Had there been some GSA Dollars or some other 90% Silver coins then they would at least have intrinsic metal value. I do see multiple 2004 Silver State Quarter Proof Sets whose coins could be salvaged through proper conservation but the retail on them is not much higher than actual melt value. However, the choice on what to do is totally up to you.[/QUOTE]
