How Should UNC €2 Commemorative Coins be Stored? Can they be cleaned?

Post by mdmckenna »

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone is able to tell me the best way to store UNC €2 CC. I have mine I these coin trays but I have noticed a deterioration in the coins, they have lost their shine, especially on the underside where they are in contact with the tray.

Is it normal this loss of lustre? And is it possible to restore the coins and protect them some other way?

I have seem this. Has anyone tried it?

Hopefully someone will be able to help as it's a bit frustrating seeing the deterioration in the coins, especially as I have been very careful handling them, gloves, etc.

Many thanks.
