shootnstarz Valued Member United States 477 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 12:30 pm Digging in a rarely used drawer of important papers my wife found a baggie with a nice stash of coins. It must have been mine but I forgot about it, had to be there for at least 10 years. I found in the bag so far 8 Suzys, 11 Sacagaweas, a 62 Rosie, 15 wheats including a very nice 29s, a pile of 43 steels and some late 50s unc wheats. Still need to sort through those in the pic, I already pulled the 15 wheats out. Rick Report this Post to the Staff

BluesZone Pillar of the Community United States 524 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 12:40 pm Funny how that happens. I was selling a large entertainment center I had had for about 7 years and on top I found a 76' three piece 40% silver set. Don't remember buying it or why I would have put it up there but I bought the entertainment center new and put it together my self so it had to have been mine. Kind of like a xtra birthday present.

argentum Pillar of the Community United States 1195 Posts	Posted 08/15/2013 9:29 pm Nice temporal gift to yourself! My related story: In Aug 1998, for my 6th grade year, I moved with my mom, little brother, little sister, and the father to the two of them, to upstate New York. My grandparents move to where I currently reside with my grandpa in the spring/summer of 1999. Last year, I persuade Grandpa that we needed to turn things over in the safe just to see what we had. We found 5 Ikes that Grandpa had stashed, two and a half rolls of quarters in Bank of America wrappers, the Krugerrand that his mother gave him ca 1978, and a stash of some $10-$15 in one's and change that I must have had squirreled away either before their move or shortly after. Nothing special in that stash, though, but I saved a one for my bill collection. Report this Post to the Staff
shootnstarz Valued Member United States 477 Posts	Posted 08/16/2013 12:30 pm Some of the wheaties have the dreaded bluegreen funk in spots and some of the 43s also have some active looking rot. As well some are just sticky/dirty looking. What should I do, if anything, to stop/remove this corrosion and clean up the funky coins without doing any harm? Report this Post to the Staff
