I took all of the coins out of two of the folders, placed them on a towel on a window sill (not direct sun, but did have indirect light) with the window open just a tad. Left them there for about a week and a half, and amazingly most of the smell is now gone! There is still just a slight bit of mustiness to them, but I’d have to say they are 95% improved. </font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">Such a simple solution, I never thought this would have done any good considering how bad they smelled, but it worked! :high5:</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">So I’m going to do the rest of the coins in batches, then place them into their new clean folders, and store them properly, indoors this time!</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">Thanks everyone for your help and advice, I’ve really been enjoying my time here reading posts, I learn something new everyday!</font></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><font face="Arial">Lyn</font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
