<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 1969673, member: 44357&quot;]While Abafil cases are commonly used and better than most, they are far from inert. I&#039;ve had numerous conversations with dealers and collectors on the subject - some haven&#039;t seen any toning but most do (and some intentionally put coins in Abafil cases to tone them). Granted, the larger environmental conditions of the surrounding atmosphere will certainly play a role. There have been several helpful threads on ForumAncientCoins (in particular this one, starting at post #14, which was the first eye-opening post that caused me to re-assess my storage: <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=68820.15" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=68820.15" rel="nofollow">http://www.forumancientcoins.com/board/index.php?topic=68820.15</a> )</p><p><br /></p><p>One piece of advice I received is to use the &quot;smell test&quot; - any scent within the box indicates chemicals within the air coming from the materials. My current boxes are made of plastic to avoid this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
