[QUOTE="AlanT, post: 1724905, member: 53483"]Okay, so check this out, I have a set of like 20 pr69 ASE's that I keep in my safe. It's a pretty heavy duty burglary and fire safe made by Amsec.

I just couldn't believe it, I thought that their value would be significantly diminished, even though they were graded. I was bummed out and didn't really want to think about it for years, like 5. I definitely put those silicone pack things in the safe at some point after that just so that it wouldn't get any worse, or damage any other coins that didn't get tarnished yet. Well...I looked at the set about a month ago (after not looking at them for years), I just knew that the damage was going to be even worse that I had remembered it... and low and behold, it was all gone. Seriously, the coins looked awesome, no tarnishing at all. Is that normal? It had to be those silicone packs right?[/QUOTE]
