You survive, but the ash from the eruption is loaded with PVC and your collection is immediately tarnished. It is miles to a store that carries acetone and well my lord it is so hopeless...... That happened to me last year Fortunately, the stain on one of my Peace dollars formed in the image of the Virgin Mary, so I was able to sell it on ebay and use the money to replace most of the damaged ones.

mrh757 Valued Member United States 270 Posts	Posted 01/27/2009 03:31 am Also quite true. An 1894-S Barber dime traded hands a couple years ago, the dealer who brokered the sale flew from California to New York with the coin in his pocket. That coin sold for about $2 million, I wonder if he had sweaty palms walking around with that thing---------But it's only a dime worth 10 cents to every one else-Right? Sometimes the hardest this to find are in plane sight!! Report this Post to the Staff

Even that would only be good for a hundred dollars or so... with fifty grand, I'd want air support too! Fortunately not every part of the country is like that. Interesting story on moving valuable coins- http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/16/n.../Numismatics Yes this area is getting nuts about coins, guns, etc. Just west of Chicago they now closed 3 indoor gun ranges, Closed an outdoor one, closed the shotgun range at the lake front. No stores in Chicago can sell any guns. If you live in Chicago you must have a state card (FOID) and all guns must be registered. If passing through the area with out these, JAIL and FINE. Most suburbs do not even sell pellet or bb guns. And yes, it' really true the police do stop people for questioning, possible drinking and anything else they can think of. Our murder rate is up again, 50,000 vehicals/year stolen, no one even knows how many homes are robbed. Being a coin collector and going to coin shows makes one really cautious.
