<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3979490, member: 112&quot;]Given what you say here, that you are a new collector, and the composition of the coins, what makes you so sure that the coins have PVC on them ? Are you certain you know how to recognize it, what it looks like in all its forms ? Can you tell the difference between PVC residue, verdigris, and ordinary corrosion ?</p><p><br /></p><p>The answers to these questions are important and can make a huge difference in what you do and how you do it.</p><p><br /></p><p>But more than that, even though you say the coins are worth much more than you paid for them, given the condition of the coins as you describe them, they very well may be worth much less than you paid for them. Sure, there&#039;s plenty of valuable coins out there, but to be valuable they have to be in a certain condition. And given your description of the coins - they aren&#039;t anywhere near being in that condition ! And if they are damaged by corrosion and or PVC contamination, well, that damage is done and cannot be undone. And those coins will never worth anything more than selling them by the pound.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess what I&#039;m trying to get across to you is that there is a lot you need to know that you apparently don&#039;t know. And before any of us can really offer any help or advice to you, we too need to know a lot more.</p><p><br /></p><p>I realize this is not what you want to hear, but better to hear it now before you go through a lot of trouble, time and work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
