Mint/Bank rolls and storage

How does everybody store mint wrapped rolls so that the end coins don't become sacrificially toned due to oxidation?

Good question. I'd like to see some answers, but I imagine the only way that would work would be to break it open and put it in a tube. Personally, I just store my mint/bank-wrapped rolls in a brinks penny box and not worry about the enders.

 

Plus, if you get some killer toning on the ends...

 

Toning from roll ends is odd, brown in the middle, usually looked rubbed...

 

I've found a few with nice toning... it certainly isn't common, but when lightning strikes...

 

They don't always tone just on the outside. I have opened rolls and all the inner coins have toned from the roll paper. Sometimes the coins even have verdigris.

I am able to fit most of my rolls in tubes, sometimes they are a hard fit, but it works, and I don't take them out to look at them anyways.

 

Alot of the rolls from the mint will fit into the sqare coins tubes. But they can be a pain to get out.

 

I store my US Mint Lincoln cent rolls in square tubes for nickels...a perfect fit. :smile TC

 

That's great advice, thanks.
