Message:: [QUOTE="JGAIN, post: 409541, member: 15346"]In response to the "how to store coins" thread I had to mention this horror story: A few years back I purchased a collection of coins and in the collection was 53 rolls of 1943 P,D,S Lincolns. The gentleman said he put 'em away IN 1943! I did not doubt it as the coins were in the old "flat bank wrappers" and when touched they fell apart. All were stored in THE GARAGE, in a cardboard box, IN HIGH HUMIDITY. Upon inspection there were some great coins - very high grade, maybe MS69s!!!!! But, due to the storage (or lack thereof) all had rust and other corrosional damage! None, not one had no rust spots! The end pieces were unrecognizable, some of the interior (middle of the roll) were much better, but lightly spotted with rust! Shame .........[/QUOTE]
