Message:: [QUOTE="BadThad, post: 2390888, member: 17261"]A couple of years ago a friend of mine gave me his penny stash to look through and cash in. It was an open, heavy-glass water bottle (before they started using plastic). He kept it in his home closet. We had to empty it before we could lift it! He didn't know the year he started putting his daily change into it, all he could recall was 1980 something. I pulled  a ton of BU coins out of this stash. Most of them from the 80's. Judging by the condition of the BU's, I have to say it appears to have been a pretty effective storage method. I didn't see much verdigris at all, it was not a problem. Here's some of the coins from that jar:[ATTACH=full]491183[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491185[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491186[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491187[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491188[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491189[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491190[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]491191[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
