<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3904627, member: 15199&quot;]What most ignore is that most likely you are putting a corrosion magnet close to a coin. The one below I bought&nbsp; raw in a paper 2x2 and had it in it for several years, in a 2x2x8 dealer box, after 10years, I took out some to sell, and noticed that where the staples were, there was toning ( corrosion) on the coin. I sent one in to see how it would be graded, and it did OK, but the others I removed the tone/corrosion with a week dip before and still no problem with grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>The way to eliminate it is to use stainless steel staples. They cost more, but they will not corrode like the cheap steel. I live in a desert, so this might be more of a problem in a more moist environment. Remember the fiberboard is not sealed except by pressure and moisture can corrode them and into the inside of the 2x2.&nbsp; Jim[ATTACH=full]1029281[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
