tkbslc Pillar of the Community United States 1158 Posts	Posted 05/18/2015 1:57 pm Short Answer = Yes they can still tone or corrode. It's less likely than many other storage methods, but the coins are not slabbed in a clean room and the slabs are not always 100.00% airtight. Report this Post to the Staff

kakaratt77 Pillar of the Community United States 1414 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 09:47 am I'm really at a loss here on what to do with this slab....Should I resubmit for conservation, is it even worth it or what> Please give input. Thank you. Jeff Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19969 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 11:24 am Not worth spending the money on conservation IMO, these are pretty inexpensive coins. Besides, the zinc oxides are tough and difficult to remove chemically without damaging the surfaces. I suggest you sell it and buy one that makes you happy. Lincoln Cent Lover!
