Buying coins in winter

Dear friends,

is it a problem to physically buy coin at stores in winter / early spring? Asking because of humidity and temperatures when changing environments (store → out → home → bus,…).

Thank you!

You must be joking? Don't buy coins in the mornings? ETC? Are you able to say WHEN your bought coins will be delivered?

you can reduce problems, when you buy more gold coins.

At some point you might rather want to consider collecting something like Bitcoin, they will always be pristine no matter what.

I suggest to buy coins on the 29th februari only when it is full moon with an outside temperature of exactly 11,35 degrees Celcius.
If you do it otherwise your coins will disappear in thin air immediately and their ghosts will not give you any peace for the rest of your life.

You have a really hard life. Here we must always take into account the variant: Murphy's Law:

I recommend that when you get home leave the coins there. Why take them with you on the bus?

You seem to have a thing with asking questions about how coins are effected by natural conditions on earth, as indicated by you last 5 posts;

In the spirit of assumption, I am guessing your question about buying coins in winter is referring to the change in temperature and the build up of condensation on or in the coins packaging and how this might damage new high quality or proof coins. Again, new, high quality & proof coins, is an assumption as circulated coins would have done your „store - outside - home - bus“ journey many times through many winters!

Also I am assuming condensation with the small drop, rise, drop in temperature is what you are referring to, as metal fatigue through high temperature changes is and has never been reported in any great numbers for coins, and unless you frequent outer space or another planetary body these temperature changes will not be experienced on your journey.

If you are worried about the build up of condensation I recommend keeping the coins at stable temperature on your journey, this can be achieved by placing the coins close to your body which holds a steady 38.5 degrees Celsius. Stuff them in your underpants under your armpits or tape them to your torso for maximum effect.

I await your next post asking „the effects of sweat on silver proof coins“.

I can’t imagine the life of people who try so hard to collect coins like this

This is not just about coins, it is also a life story. The only solution is not to change the planet but to change the material. Either gold, or go all out with the material of the future of coins and banknotes, which is plastic. Here I just picked up one currency, its beauty and strength are immense.
