Ken Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Having been visiting this site for quite a while now,I'm almost ready to buy my first coin and become a legitimate member of this forum.However one thing worries me.I live in Japan and in Summer the humidity is overwhelming (I'm talking bicycles rusting almost overnight!).What if anything would this do to a coin collection and are there any precautions I would have to take?Thanks.

Sylvester Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Don't buy any copper or base metal coins. If routing for silver go for the ones with a high silver content.Failing that gold is a much safer option where you'd not have to worry too much.Copper and iron coins are a no no. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 Yes, I'll echo that. Go for sterling silver (all pre 1920 British Silver coins will be ok).I do hope that your first purchase will be from me! Quote

Thanks Chris and Sylvester.I suspected as much.My first purchase may well be from you Chris,but first I've got to try to win the Mrs round Japanese women are tougher than you might think Quote
