<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1800244, member: 26302&quot;]Looks like high humidity storage. Take an old house in the upper midwest or similar environment, have some put a coin&nbsp; collection in the basement, and wait 5-10 years. Humidity and coins are brutal. I helped a dealer friend dip hundreds of us coins trying to save what we could. Maybe ten percent came out without corrosion.</p><p><br /></p><p>Never, ever place coins in a high humidity environment. Just as important, I would never trust a coin from such an environment. It was weird, some coins were black with corrosive toning but would come outok, others didn&#039;t look so bad but when dipped were potmarked. If you ever see a flip with rusted staples do not&nbsp; buy unless you are 100 percent positive the coin surfaces are ok.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
