It would make a fun science project, but if you deposit them into your bank account, you're already 75% of the way to another BU set.

Ouch.  I would not waste any time on these. Spend or deposit them and do not look back.  |

To the Forum . It is not my intention to contradict the opinions of others  But, If you like to keep those coins * as rescue coins * Nothing to lose . dip .those coins into CLR for 24 hours .. You will see what happens . maybe you will be surprised with the results . At your risk ...only my opinion . |

they're only quarters and if they survive the process still being identifiable as such, then why not have some fun in the 'don't try this at home' section?  Otherwise I agree that, for collecting purposes, these coins are completely written off. As pocket change they're still worth 25 cent each. |

Was the safe flooded? If it was only moisture that caused that, then I wonder what is in that album that caused that much oxidation, maybe a type of salt, or chlorine used to manufacture the paper. It almost looks like the coins and album were submerged in saltwater. Very scary sight indeed. I would empty that safe as soon as possible to check on anything else that's in it.

Many fire rated safes are designed to release moisture to protect documents. Some do so excessively.

Thanks all. I did empty the safe and when through everything. There were two other blue binders of the state coins which were fine, this binder was unique and fancier, I thought but now in trash and coins rolled and deposited in my bank account.
