what should I do to make sure it doesn't deteriorate Looks to me like this question is the subject of multiple prior CCF threads, although I asked the question because I honestly don't know the right answer. Using the keywords PRESERVING ZINC COINS, I found several interesting ones, including this early one: http://goccf.com/t/74795"If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

I have some small ziplock bags that 2x2's fit in nicely, I guess if the zip lock is sealed correctly, that should work.

That will help, but also exposes it to another possible danger if the plastic bag contains PVC. If the bag is food safe, then it is PVC free. Something to consider.  Otherwise, great coin and a good price on it! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020

I bought a box of 250 cause I keep all my zincs in air-tights. Don't remember the cost, but worth it if you want the coin to last awhile. You would have to buy the denomination that the coin would fit in. Personally, I would not use plastic bags. Edited by 11997755

That is a good idea, fits neatly in a quarter size flip so I would imagine that the same would apply for an airtight.

Possible RDV-005. So a 1987 or earlier.

I bet you it's a 1983 or 1984.

I am trying to follow along on how certain years stand out, is it the FG letters that changed after 1988.

Correct. The FG is different on the RDV-005-7:  Locations and shape of the 'G'. |
