Ploopy Pillar of the Community United States 1788 Posts	Posted 01/17/2016 7:13 pm I have 2 German mint sets, and I believe whatever they are encased in is damaging them. Should I crack them open? Report this Post to the Staff

denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 01/17/2016 7:46 pm I highly doubt that they are in the original packaging from the mint. So removing them will not affect the value. But further environmental damage will, Take them out and protect them from further damage and protect any value they may have left. Report this Post to the Staff
mlov Valued Member United States 156 Posts	Posted 01/25/2016 09:58 am Yeah, it seems that there isn't much you can do other than remove and protect them from further damage. If this is moisture damage (and not due to the packaging), I've seen it before. It's either from a failure to keep the sets away from humid environments, or from storing them in a cold environment (like a freezing-cold storage unit), then bringing them into a heated structure. Radical temperature shifts are the worst for coins. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cfy...S-BX6dxf1zLl https://rumble.com/v4308uh--korean-...-guide-.html Report this Post to the Staff
