    Remember that I told you yesterday that the quarters would be junk on the outside of the bag and nice in the center of the bag? Were the halves stored in the same manner?..........Ken

    In canvas bags, on a shelf under a leaky window. For 30 years!!! I'm going to see if the crud will dip off, but in some spots it's thick!

    Interesting question Eureka - I'd say no, but also not market acceptable.

    I'd have to say that failed! Those coins look like crap. You would have been better off just letting them sit. image
