<p>[QUOTE="rmpsrpms, post: 2421591, member: 31773"]If you store the rolls in a controlled environment (not too wet or dry, not too hot or cold, constant conditions like in a bedroom closet) then paper wrappers are generally safe. Any time you mess with coins, you do them harm, so my recommendation is always to leave them in the state they are in and just store them safely. I have opened paper bank rolls of Cents from the 40's that were stored properly and the coins were fresh as the day they were minted. I have also opened similar rolls that were stored in wet (condensing) conditions, and the coins were junk.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
