<p>[QUOTE="Spark1951, post: 3116245, member: 90692"]I have a 1966 SMS too. Over time, and many military moves, the case cracked badly. At the time, around 4 years ago, I thought the case was protecting the coins from toning and, now being cracked no longer provided that protection. Turns out with these type cases it doesn't make any difference as they are not sealed. Yes they prevent fingerprints and contact marks but they don't keep air out. Because of the way I stored them though, they did not show any signs of toning or environmental damage.</p><p><br /></p><p> I ended up putting them (using gloves) into sealed protection...Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
