<p>[QUOTE="Kirkuleez, post: 1823757, member: 36864"]The coins are all in the terminal state of toning, so it wouldn't hurt to give them a dip whenever you are able to get the glue off. If you get lucky, the glue may have actually protected the other side of the coin. If this is the case, just flip the coins over and create a similar display with the other side showing.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's ashame that this was once considered an accepted storage method. Even the great collection of King Farouk had several series of coins "preserved" in this fashion but had the addition of a heavy coat of varnish applied.
