thanks for the link. was a little long, but interesting... I've had concerns about the red copper pieces I've bought given the huge premium over an RB example that is maybe 80%-90% red. I agree that there is a lot of comfort in buying red copper in an older holder that is worthy of some premium all else being equal.

As far as long term storage of my red copper, Andy's keep the coins in an environment you'd like to live in concept was interesting (70 degrees, 50% humidity with something to absorb moisture is what I think was said in the example). Sort of different than the environment of a dark cool, dry safety deposit box that I'm sure most folks keep their coins in. I definitely wouldn't want to live in my safety deposit box

Alot of knowledge right there and some great topic points.

Very, very, difficult to find original examples but when you do, worth the premium!
