I am thinking about buying a bunch of Silver Eagles. If I just leave them in the tubes will they tone? Will this affect the value? I am asking because if I buy up a bunch now and silver takes off in a few years I don't want my resale value trashed. I guess I could just put all of them in airtites but that increases storage space in an already cramped vault.
The tubes will minimize toning. But given enough time, all silver tones and there isn't any way to completely prevent it forever. Your ASEs will be as good as anybody elses and the impact on value should be minimal as long as they are kept in the tubes.
AirTites are fantastic, but expensive and unlike their name are not 100% AirTite. Dependent upon your geographic location, humidity and general environmental situations of your choosen storage place, any number of factors could affect your coins. You can store them along with silica/hydrosorbent dehumidifiers, relative humidity monitoring devices and atmospheric control products.
If you have them in a Monster box,throw a roll of new pennies in the box scattered,and the silver wont tone.
They will eventually tone. It depends on humidity and sulfur content. But I don't see how toning will affect pricing other than positively. I sold a pair of toned ASE's for $60 total. That's $21 more than If they were untoned.
What difference would it make? I doubt that you bought them for their numismatic value. Silver is silver, and for melt value, it wouldn't matter if they were chartreuse. Chris
That isn't the case with ASEs. Unlike most other forms of silver, they have significant future numismatic potential. This makes condition and toning more important than with bars, rounds and junk.
I had four 2010 Silver Eagles in a tube. I bought them in February with not toning. And now one of them is toned, kind of a golden brown color.
Sometimes they will even tone inside the TPG holder, but who says that is a bad thing. These are worth about $100 a piece. Besides, if all your worried about is the intrinsic value, the coins will still be silver, toned or not.
I have seen a few 1986-S to 1994-S AME Proof grade and with a hint of toning in some of the older Ngc holder
The toning, it is hard to find NT ASE's. My guess is that if you cracked them out of the PCI holder, they would lose some of their value. Notice that the holders say 100% white on them. The coins were 100% white when they were graded and the insert caused the toning.
why not insert each coin with a capsule and put all 20 capsule in a new custom tube?. hopefully the manufacturers will produce this one.
Lehigh is right but getting them regraded by PCI would be hard,as they no longer are around.they now are DGS and owned by David Lawrance
Paul, be careful not to talk up the toned ASEs too much or you'll scare up a market for them and values will climb shortly thereafter! Maybe you can get a deal with the Mint for your promotional efforts. Shoulda known you'd have a nice bunch to share, those are looking real nice. hya:
Maybe you should invent, produce, market and sell this new coin encapsulation system you have conceived of... may be this is what you should invest your money in after you sell those stocks that rose 400%-600% instead of reinvesting in PMs. :secret:
