<p>[QUOTE="Ian, post: 25744, member: 283"]I think the crucial factor for any collector is to ensure that they store their valuable coins as well as is possible (ie ones you would feel a tug at the old heart muscle over if they became damaged due to pvc damage or verdigris etc....) . After all it is pretty pointless spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars on coins if the way you are storing them is likely to damage them in any way.</p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not saying that you aren't storing them properly, but it's worth getting some sound opinion on that score if you are unsure in any way. Many dealers are great at selling you coins but not so great for teaching you what to avoid doing with them once they are yours. That does not make them `bad'........well maybe it does, because I think they have a responsibility to help the collector maintain their collection. Have you spoken with this dealer? I would, if for no other reason than to let them know of the problem you are experiencing and asking for their viewpoint and any advice they can give you. It may not get you much further than you already are but it will provide you with an insight as to how they react to a `customer' who isn't contacting them to `buy', but to call on their `expertise' and good customer relations. ;-)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
