<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4242718, member: 112"]You kinda sorta have a complicated problem there. Ya see, the original packaging, not the pliofilm sleeves that contain the coins but everything else, is harmful to the coins in that the paper and cardboard put off harmful gasses. Gasses that could easily cause unsightly toning. And that is also the problem with display cases because it's rather difficult to find any that are made of inert materials. And if they aren't made of inert materials that can cause unsightly toning too. As will leaving the display cases in the open air. Simply put everything about the idea is bad for coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I'm not saying it can't be done, merely that it is beyond difficult, and probably expensive to actually do it. For it would entail finding someone to custom make display cases of inert materials that are also very tightly fitted so as to minimize air flow as much as possible, and have a hidden space someplace, easily accessible, so that desiccant could be changed as needed to minimize humidity inside the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, I suspect the cases would cost a good bit more than the coins are worth.
