<p>[QUOTE="dan doyle, post: 3660976, member: 106446"]My Father who is in his upper 80s was an avid coin collector for decades of his life. He is currently in a nursing home with advanced Alzheimer's. We are trying to find his coin stashes around the house and unfortunately we found one after a recent flood that hit his basement. He had all his pennies in those Whitman coin collection books. I found them in a nasty, one foot tall, moldy chunk of blue cardboard. Who knows how long they were underwater but I can imagine what they look like. I haven't tried to pry the mess apart but am wondering...can they be salvaged and cleaned so that the value isn't destroyed?</p><p><br /></p><p>Any help would be appreciated. Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
