[QUOTE="rhoggman, post: 395109, member: 13987"]You say your ungraded coppers are in 2x2 intercepts. I have never used the intercept shield product, but from the pictures it looks like the pennies are in an album of some type as well. If you have any coins of any value I would get them out of the album. I have seen coins you would not expect to corrode, develop problems in albums. I had a 1943 steel penny rim get eaten away on about 1/4 of the coin.... now worthless. 40% silver nickels..... green porous surface developed.... copper coins destroyed.... including 1909 SVDB ouch!!! Virtually an entire 20th century type set minus the gold was ruined. I cannot confirm albums are the main cause, but coins I kept in other places were fine for 20+ years. We had a refinery in our town which I'm sure had much to do with this... but only the coins in albums suffered.[/QUOTE]
