The glue residue can begin the process of corrosion so my advice is to use a container , preferably glass lined with tissue, glasses cleaning cloth or micro fiber sheets, to separate the coins. Perhaps label the containers. the advice about working with small amounts is very good. Learn on a few before tackling the mountain. I use cotton liners, but they're not readily available, especially in large quantities.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just remember, the better shape it is to begin with, the more care you should take when handling it.
