<p>[QUOTE="HandsomeToad, post: 535301, member: 12965"]How can it harm a beat up old copper? :goof: A few hairline scratches on a beat up, scratched up and dinged copper isn't going to hurt the value more than leaving active corrosion on it and as to keeping it in a dry moisture free environment, that doesn't work either, since it's the oxygen that's doing the damage so until you remove the oxygen in the corrosion, it will continue so if you want to send your coins into outter space, go for it, since that's the only way to keep a currently corroded coin from continually corroding but as for me, I will remove the corrosion on my beat up old coppers to keep them from corroding any more. Furthermore, killing the corrosion isn't a spot job, so you have to treat the entire coin so I'd rather have a little damage to all of the coin than a lot of damage to a little of the coin and it's only getting worse, not better. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>Ribbit <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
