<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Steve Shupe, post: 4939056, member: 114551&quot;]any silver coin exposed to the air will tone over time. If the coin is stored in paper or with papers, the sulfur in the paper can add to the toning. As others have said, I wouldn&#039;t worry about the toning. If you think there is a possibly that the coin has something on it, causing the toning, give it an Acetone bath. Acetone won&#039;t change the toning, but it could remove contaminates that are causing the toning. In fact, I would recommend that you treat all of your coin finds with Acetone after giving any kind of water bath. I use 2&quot;x2&quot; flips (paper coin holders with Mylar windows to store many of my coins. These are a good way to protect your coins. Just pick up some of dollar size and quarter size and they will work for most coins you may have. Staple them on all three sides. These can be purchased online or from a coin shop for only a few cents a piece. Also note coins like a dry environment, so keep that in mind with where you store them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
