Great information than you all.

 

Does anyone have experience with Metal Safe Corrosion Inhibitors? Here is a link to one for sale at JP's:

I thought the same thing - will it get on my coins, or do I treat the safe and then wait a certain amount of time to store coins.

The fact that you have never heard of it gives me pause - thank you GDJMSP!

 

i bought about 30 mint sets that were in 4 lots on ebay, they all had been in a fire, the toning on these coins runs from yellow to gold to blue and many different colors, very unique coins to say the least, and quite a few of them grade out as ms-66-68...

Would love to see some pics!

 

Get it right, Doug! It's:

I dunno...am sure there's truth to most all of the opinions and experiences here...mine are of the storage conditions and those who have a bunch from 50-80 years ago and hardly if anything of toning, yellowing, etc...and so here's my two "sense"-worth, short and sweet: They just don't make 'em like they used to...to include everything from handling to the packaging/holders, and consequently both the quantities and labor mindsets of today/recent years has compromised the quality and same of yesteryear, etc.

 

Thanks for the advice. I placed the certificates in air tight holders with several silver coins and will remove them.

 

I'm going fishing now. LOL

 

Wooow you really have limited knowledge, yet attempting to fool the newmismatics how clever. Jk

 

Now, there's a first impression.

 

I don’t worry myself about it. If the coins tone, they tone. Life is to short. I keep my coins in climate controlled areas and hope for the best.

Yellow can also be the first steps toward blue toning. That gets a lot of collectors excited.

 

I've got a westward journey nickel set from the mint, wherein, one of the nickels was beginning to develop a bit of yellow (champagne?) toning a few years ago. Squirreled it back away. Maybe I should break it out again........
