shootnstarz Valued Member United States 477 Posts	Posted 08/19/2013 7:38 pm OK, that explains a lot. It's just my other brownies look pristine and mirror like in their OGP. Can you open and close these cases without damaging them? Are you saying a 73S blue BU Ike has a greater value than a proof, non-DCAM brown one? I hadn't thought of dipping the coin. Would that be something I should do now or will the coin continue to degrade if I don't? Which will hold more value, a dipped or a degraded? Rick Report this Post to the Staff

I would not put it back in the OGP as it is obviously not airtight now. You would be better off slabbing it yourself. Report this Post to the Staff

I can't figure out how an Ike in sealed OGP could get so degraded. Car trunks. Back in the early 70's they didn't have mini vans, SUV's, and most dealers didn't drive vans. Instead after every show they would pack their coins into the trunk and drive to the next show. Now the trunk is not airconditioned and in the summer driving around on the highways the temperature in the trunk can easily get to 150 degrees. These coins were BAKED week after week with the plastic outgassing from the high temperatures. Quote: Can you open and close these cases without damaging them? No, they are sonicly welded and will normally break when opened. Edited by Conder101 08/21/2013 10:51 am Report this Post to the Staff
