Bill, the product that JPL sold (briefly) was basically CARE with some additives that as far as I know have not been tested out in any real fashion. I bought a bottle, used it on a few pieces, one of which it stripped the color from and left the coin an unnatural pink. I have not used it since and heard similar things from others. If you get some I would definitely test it out on some copper Lincoln cents before subjecting any "real" coin to it! I would also NOT use it on anything super high grade because if it damages those surfaces you are screwed.

<div>I don't recall that specific conversation, but seeing as you'r= e living in an environment where moist salty air may be the norm, I think t= he main thing would be first of all, keep the coins in as dry an environmen= t as is possible.=C2=A0 Even the use of desiccant packets in an open storag= e system might not be enough if they too are exposed 24x7 to that moist env= ironment....=C2=A0 It could require some form of air tight=C2=A0<span style= =3D"font-size:13.33px">storage</span><span style=3D"font-size:13.33px">=C2= =A0</span><span style=3D"font-size:10pt">container WITH the desiccant insid= e to absorb the moisture that would enter every time you open the container= .</span></div>
