Preserving Modern Coins
Posted on 4/23/2010
Modern coins can still develop many of the same problems that older coins do. Among the list of commonly encountered problems are spotting, hazing, unattractive toning and PVC residue. In some cases, these various problems can cover the entire surface of a coin leaving it unable to be accurately graded. These problems often originate from being stored under humid conditions or in potentially harmful containers. Several contaminants will continue to get worse and possibly damage the surface of the coin over time. No matter how slight these contaminations may be, they will still have an effect on the final grade of your coin.
