<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 754953, member: 19423&quot;]Of course someday in the very long future my red copper in older olders will fade, maybe 10 years, maybe 100 years, maybe 1000 years, depending on how I store and care for it.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, knowing that it hasn&#039;t turned ugly in the past few years, or even the past 10-15 years is very important and does mean something.&nbsp; it means that the coin wasn&#039;t screwed with by the doctors and/or even if the coin was messed with a good enough job was done to where the surfaces of the coin are relatively stable.&nbsp; Since PCGS doesn&#039;t release dates of grading, an older style holder is the only proof easily available that the coin hasn&#039;t been messed with in awhile.&nbsp; You could also search auction records/dates sold to sort of determine the age of the slabs for coins in newer style holders, but that is much more tedious.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
