slash112 Valued Member United States 368 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 02:29 am 1918D hole filler and a question I have a few rolls here labeled with years 41 44 56 57 58 I checked one and they were all P mint of that year the coins have some sort of dust like substance on them should I rinse them under warm water to get this off before I rewrap them in new rolls? also would it be a better idea to store them in plastic tubes rather then paper bank wrappers Report this Post to the Staff
gundawg89 Valued Member United States 71 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 03:43 am sweet deal! Report this Post to the Staff
Maineman750 Pillar of the Community United States 3592 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 04:59 am slash....can you use compressed air to blow off the dust ? That would be the safest. And are they uncirculated ? If so then it might be better to get a few plastic tubes....if just circulated, then rewrap in paper. Report this Post to the Staff

coincollector123 Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 09:33 am soap and water is the only cleaning you want to do. I would use an air compressor/scuba tank to blow the dust off. if you do uses water make sure that after you run them under the tap dry them off immediately. You dont know what minerals are in your water. After that I would put them in a plastic tube. For temporary storage use a penny wrapper but in the long run coin tubes would be good to look into.

slash112 Valued Member United States 368 Posts	Posted 11/11/2010 10:27 am I wish the wheats were uncirculated there are a handful or really nice BU's from the 50's the rest are just circulated condition even though they were kept in a ziploc baggie and maybe 5 bucks worth in rolls they arent really coated in any verdi gunk as for flips I am interested in getting some If anyone has any extra I could use them to package up the Barber coins and other old stuff that would be appreciated I would pay you for them PM me and I could give you my info and sort out a deal Pics to come I promise Report this Post to the Staff
