[QUOTE="bruthajoe, post: 25358606, member: 108656"]I probably shouldn't say "never" because this is something that I would have likely dismissed as an option because of it's simplicity and counter intuitionism. After all the posts I've made about coin storage, picking the through wits and deciphering the opinions of suggested coin storage and preservation options, burning coin flips and removing VOC deposits with harsh chemicals to, watching a beautiful 120 year old MS VDC turn into a toner in months due to cellulose contamination, not one person (maybe one) has ever suggested what I have recently found to be maybe the most ridiculously effective and inexpensive coin storage method, hands down. 60 years is enough time, I would say, to determine if something is successfully being preserved. Let's take for example silver. Easily oxidized and tarnished, silver may be the most difficult to preserve. Simply handling silver by even the reeds can deposit oils and acids that will ingress from the area deep into the fields of our precious. What, you say, is this magic method of preservation we all desire, which can be done for mere tenths of cents per lb. of booty? I warn you first before considering this layman's method of storing your triple squished mirror finish medallions... take a photo because you may never see them again. No no, were not putting them in the freezer behind the cauliflower. We are wrapping them in... [ATTACH=full]1622271[/ATTACH] Aluminum foil.[/QUOTE]
