<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Austin J., post: 751782, member: 21914&quot;]Hi there, I just recently registered to ask a question. I recently wanted to get back into coin collecting, so I think it would be a good idea for me to ask this here.</p><p><br /></p><p>I used to collect coins back in the early 2000s, and I had quite a few old mercury cents, wheat cents, etc. Eventually I lost interest, and my collection remained in my closet for a few years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cut to August 2005, me and my family are running from Hurricane Katrina. It hits, and we got 8 feet of water in our house. We left so fast that lots of things were left back, including my coin collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, apparently my mom and dad salvaged a lot of my collection into a jar when gutting our old house. A lot of it has been hit by chemicals in the water, and whatever else was there at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question is, should I hold on to it and keep it in my new collection, or just keep them off to the side?</p><p><br /></p><p>I really don&#039;t know if I should include them in my new collection or not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even if not, I&#039;ll hold on to them as they&#039;re a reminder of my home, and a part of history now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
