Message:: [QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 795325, member: 19456"]Here is a picture I want you to see, About Good. It is unknown when these coins got wet, but it MOST LIKELY HAPPENED IN THE LAST 5 YEARS! The first basement flood after the most recently dated coin in the bag (1986) was in 2006.  <img src="http://images20.fotki.com/v528/photos/3/348354/6136805/001-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> The cent that is on top of the nickel...try and guess what year that one was! I have no clue. I don't even want to touch it (which is why it's on the nickel). And speaking of the nickel it's on...see the corrosion on it? (at the bottom) It's a 1939! The other nickel by itself is a 1959, and the Canadian cent is 1964. The cent by itself is 1946.   And that's not all of them that got corroded, that is just a small sampling, less then half of this round of corroded coins.  Here is the red quarter I mentioned earlier. Most here would not accept it in their main collection...but I will...because it's the best example, being the only example, I have of the date. The other coins in the photo are also from the bag. Luckily, the three silver coins that were in the bag, I needed all of them for my collection, and none of them got corroded! <img src="http://images52.fotki.com/v644/photos/3/348354/6136805/002-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
