<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 3327612, member: 36864"]Red cents from 1934 or so are pretty common because they were stored in rolls which protected them from the environmental factors that would discolor the surfaces. About thirty years ago, I spent a fortune assembling a wheat cent collection of all raw red cents. I recently pulled out my old Dansco album to look at them and found that they had almost all turned brown. That may not seem like a big deal, but at today's prices, I lost a mid-sized house in value. I am now working on an all certified red cent collection in the hopes that they will remain red for many years to come. Most importantly, I will be storing them in my (safe for coins) safe at home which is in a climate controlled area and filled with desiccates that will help reduce the humidity in my safe. These coins will be about as well protected as they can possibly be, but that is still no guarantee that they will not eventually turn brown.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
