<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xlrcable, post: 1841577, member: 41288&quot;]Today I was looking at a coin I&#039;d put away in an air-tite about six months earlier, and I noticed a faint, diffuse brown spot that I was pretty sure hadn&#039;t been there originally. I got out a magnifier (really I just put on two pairs of reading glasses at the same time, but don&#039;t let your family see you that way) - and there at the center of the spot was a tiny fiber of some kind that had been trapped against the coin when I closed the capsule.</p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder what would have happened in six years instead of six months, and I also wonder how many coins stored with the best intentions are damaged for a similar reason. I&#039;ve got one of those air-puffer things that photographers use to blow dust off lenses, and plan to use it liberally in the future.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
