<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rlm&#039;s cents, post: 996556, member: 7957&quot;]I thought of doing the same thing, but after 80 to 120 years, there is only one way to prove that those coins have not begun to oxidize.&nbsp; Somehow I do not think the owners would be open to that suggestion.&nbsp;&nbsp; There is only one way to settle this.&nbsp; Until I or someone else comes up with a sacrificial lamb, the closest we can come to settling is for your 1977 to regain its stripes and I don&#039;t think it will.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can believe me, try this coin.&nbsp; When I got it, it looked just like your 1977 (bright CLEAR red from a very harsh cleaning).&nbsp; There was no sign of wood grain.&nbsp; I now wish I had taken a picture of it as an original, but I didn&#039;t.&nbsp; Anyway, this is what it looks like today.&nbsp; BTW, it has been stored in a flip (non-PVC).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
