<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 443395, member: 4552"]Back in 1959 I made a pen holder out of liquid plastic. As it cured I placed 3 new dimes and 6 new pennies (cents you know) inside. Then placed 3 pen tops to hold the pens. This is still sitting on my desk today. No tarnishing, no toning, no corroding, just 9 coins still looking new. </p><p>In other words if your really worried about preserving your coins, just cover them in liquid plastic. </p><p>The only thing is to remember that all plastics are made from petroleum products so using my method wastes what could be burned in my cars.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
