<p>[QUOTE="Vertigo, post: 7925384, member: 118430"]So I have this 1825/4 quarter i bought. I didn't have a proper air tite for the larger size quarter at the time i got it. So I placed it in a half dollar one for the time being. I also have 2 other capped bust half dollars i did this to. With them I removed the foam ring from a half and put them in it. This left the 3 loose in the air tite. The halves didn't get it as bad as this quarter did though. I spotted a mark on one and removed it and was puzzled why it had a mark. Then I got this one out the other day. It has been in there about 3 months as I removed the container holding it to add/remove coins. As you can see the obverse and reverse. Right in the center. And even the capsule. I'm glad this was a lowball quarter. I hate using flips because I had a similar thing happen to a coin in one. So I guess this will be a lesson to use proper holders with foam that hold the coin in place inside. So before it happens to you....</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1369405[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1369406[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1369407[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
