<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 2826735, member: 89393&quot;]Thank you for the information you have provided throughout this forum. This is my first day visiting the site — although each page says my membership is, mysteriously, showing that it&#039;s still awaiting confirmation — and I am prompted to ask a few questions that are germane to this particular thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. I was gifted a 1986 or 87 Silver Eagle and a near-perfect Walking Liberty Half about thirty years ago. The two coins were sandwiched between suitably large slabs of plastic, and each coin is placed side-by-side in a frame of what appears to be a foam-like material then the slabs look to have been sealed shut. After many years of sitting in a desk drawer, I find that the two coins have some sort of oxidation on them. If I thought I had enough privileges to post a photo I would be happy to do so. I assume that the value of these coins has been effected by this, is that right? Is there anything I can do to prevent further oxidation short of smashing the presentation piece?</p><p><br /></p><p>2. That got me to checking a number of my ASEs, nearly all of which have been put into Air Tite capsules. Many of these, too, I have found to have turned color, mostly on the rims, so I wonder what might be going wrong here. </p><p><br /></p><p>3. I have a few rolls of ASEs in their original government rolls. These have never been opened, but I can see from close exam through the opaque tubes that there is NO oxidation on the edges. Any suggestions for keeping these from turning?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
