What happens when you store coins in felt coin cases?

You get some really cool toned coins

Got another set coming up........

Great looking coins. Can we assume the coins were white when you put them in the case? Just remember to take them out before they get too dark.

If you sent those coins off to PCGS, do you think they would slab?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

How long have they been in there and did they start out as bright white

I feel like I may be going to get some felt boxes, my dealer sells them cheap like cigar boxes!

I've got a couple morgan sets like that that have been sitting in velvet for a few years now... nothing but splotchy specks so far.

The two Morgans look fine but the Peach Dollar probably won't grade.

Are you more worried about the golden edges or the sea blue center? I'm more wary of the latter personally.

<< Somehow I rather still own a toned Eliasberg/Clapp specimen if you know what I mean

>>

What?......you mean you wouldn't like to have a CoinsAreFun toned specimen

The Morgans will definitely, the Peace dollar is another story. Most TPG's probably would not slab it.
I'll post the reverse later( looks simaliar to the obverse)

I will assume they were. I actualy have two sets. I picked them up from a dealer that I know, he finally
dug through his safe and parted with some of his sets. I don't think these coins have seen the light of day
for a very long time.

Felt has been known to be a bad storage system for some time due to some chjemicals etc used in its manufacture. The coin colors are unnatural looking anyway. The gold/brown is the most common color in silver, certainly the most common secondary ("natural") color which says "DIPPED!". Coloring books are more fun and do less damage to the hobby IMHO.

Here are some images of the Peace$

coinsarefun · October 11, 2012 4:53PM

<< Are you really suggesting that peace dollar was not exposed to anything but felt? >>

You must not know me well enough.......I don't suggest anything....simple fact that's how I found it. Take it how you wish

Zoins · October 11, 2012 4:55PM

Would this be NT since the felt is from a coin box that says "Silver Dollar Collection"?

coinsarefun · October 11, 2012 5:00PM

<< Would this be NT since the felt is from a coin box that says "Silver Dollar Collection"? >>

I'm not saying its NT or AT, just that's how I found it. As I stated earlier in the thread

<< The Morgans will definitely, the Peace dollar is another story. Most TPG's probably would not slab it. I'll post the reverse later( looks simaliar to the obverse) >>

Look, I'm not trying to pass the Peace off as natural, I just found it amusing.....that's all.
People are reading a little to much into the thread......

What happened to me was: A lady sold a bag of them to me, so I sent most to PCGS. They tone in most any kind of felt.

.
if the peace were mine, it would be white again soon cuz i'd lick all that blue off, it looks like yummy ice cream!

coinsarefun · October 12, 2012 1:11PM

Since I really don't care to like my coins......i will let you have the honers......although I heard silver can be medicinally good for you.
Maybe that's what turned her blue

Why wouldn't you want to like your coins?

I misread this thread's title. Mark gave me my coins back at ANA just as I expected.
