Lincoln Mems wrapped in tissue.....

Why I did this I don't recall, but back in 1980 or so I wrapped a whole bunch of BU Lincolns in tissue (prolly good 'ole Kleenex). Found a jar full of them in the basement the other night, any guesses what they might look like after 22 years? Aside from the certain fingerprints? image

  • I'll dig some out this weekend and see what they look like! Hope they toned nicely.

    Back in the mid-80's I did the same thing to all my nicest Lincolns from circulation, and a few years ago I found them and was not too happy with the "toning" they received; it was more a dull-look to most of them. And as I recall, they previously had outstanding luster.
