Ok this is a continuation from another thread the franklins have been in my closet for one month. I did not do this on purpose but after I seen the results I grabbed some silver coins from the local shop and put them in as testers. here is what has happend so far. sorry the after pictures are nor high quality but my son broke the camera and I have bought and returned two of them since that werent worth squat. think im gonna just get another sony. 1952 before 1952 after 1 month heres the coins I put there around a week ago they sit in my closet on the littleton thing I dont know if the littleton thing is what is causing them to tone or not
First - to hard to say. The lighting and the angle are not the same. I can't judge what really happened or how much it really changed. Second - if it really is as bad as you show, then it is time to quit storing coins in your closet and to get something climate controlled. Just my opinion.
I reckon your OUT now. Multiple factors could be at play: your unique environment in your home (humidity, atmospheric pressures), the wood work gassing off, fabric softner chemicals and fragrances in clothing, cedar or moth balls, dirty laundry odors, trapped / stale air, cardboard boxes leaching acids, the oils in the plastic Littleton thingie, your own heavy breathing while you are hiding in the closet , if there is cigarette smoke in your home or the prescience of a pet, it's odors and activities...
It took 1 month for the franklin.......the franklin doesnt have the typical rainbow toning but it does look nice at least to me........ill try to snag a better pic
off-topic lincolns are starting to become one of my favorite things to collect. from what i see, i like the 2009 set, whats it called? back on i was keeping some of my coins in styrofoam cooler, because space is getting to be an issue. after only a few weeks its turning one of my canadian quarters blue. i am going to take it out, because i have a feeling its going to get ugly.
To each their own. I liked the Frankie better before you put it in the closet - had a nice rainbow. Use to be the after pic was considered ugly blotchy toning and most I knew dipped them to get rid of it in the hopes it would tone better next time around.
