Og, do you think there will be any sort of long term tarnish from being submerged.  Was it salt water or fresh?   

It certainly appears to have been submerged in both salt water & fresh water, but photonresearch would have to confirm.  I'm not sure if they will continue to tarnish inside their airtites once handled or not, but I don't think it will have any effect on the engraved keys.  The airtites on these coins are scratched up pretty good too.  I thought about replacing them with fresh ones, but I think the worn look is appropriate for these coins.  The kind of buyer that wants a perfect coin and clean airtite wouldn't be right for this auction and should purchase through retail channels.  This auction is for someone who wants to have coins with a story to tell. 

Nice to see some new products

For those who may not win the auction, this book is now also available for purchase in the brand new NastyShop!

Does this mean you might do another auction with the other copy?

That would be cool. Perhaps throw in some other coins that were not in the photoshoot. I'd bid on that
