What's The Best Way To Keep Red Cents Red

I think the main thing is to keep it in a climate controlled and dry environment. If you live in a humid area, you can use desiccant packs - I have my nicer coins in ziplock bags with a desiccant pack in each bag.

Love finding old copper like that - 50+ years and still mint red - nice!

Go out and get some plastic cent tubes, and fill 'em up. That should be all that's needed. If you're like the crazy people, then put the tube in a plastic bag with some silica gel and you'll be all set.

I keep my red cents in paper rolls. After all, when the coins are pressed together tightly, the only toning that should occur to them is on the end coins and rims. I'll find out how well they survived in a few decades.
