Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 09/27/2016 7:34 pm Hello folks, There is a few ancient/medieval coins in an upcoming estate sale in my area. I am considering attending. The only problem is it appears the previous owner kept these coins in plastic flips for an extended period of time. Do these coins likely have PVC damage? Here are a few example photos. It overall looks like a nice collection that someone spent some serious $$$$ on. It would be a shame if they are damaged through improper storage. Your thoughts? Thanks, Joe2007 Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 09/27/2016 10:24 pm I've gotten a lot of different coins in a lot of different flips. Pretty sure those are the safe kind. And yeah, ALL Roman coins spent a minimum of 500 years in the ground, so the bronzes are going to have a nice thick patina to protect them. The Roman coins are all reasonably common, from what I can see. They will actually be cheaper than, say, a Flying Eagle cent in comparable condition. Report this Post to the Staff
