<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 14323792, member: 112&quot;]Pretty much everything you&#039;re describing isn&#039;t uncommon. A rinse in this a rinse in that, changing locations, changing storage methods - all of it and more has an effect on toning. There are literally thousands of variables involved with toning. Absolutely everything in one&#039;s home, from floor to ceiling and wall to wall has an effect, or lack of effect on toning. That&#039;s because everything in one&#039;s home puts various and often different contaminants into the air. And of course the same thing happens with each individual location.</p><p><br /></p><p>Every coin there is begins toning the very moment it is minted. And from then on, literally everything begins changing. It&#039;s difficult to see at first because it is only slight. Nonetheless it is there, it has occurred, because that&#039;s the very nature of metals - they begin to corrode (tone) from the instant they are created. But there are almost always differences in how that corrosion (toning) progresses.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, buy a roll or bag of coins direct from the mint, place them in an album side by side on the same page, leave them there for years, stored the same way in the same location. Look at them a decade or two or three later, and the coins on that same page in the album are not all going to look the same. There will be differences between them. Some may have toned a great deal, and some may be attractive, while others are as ugly as a mud fence. And still yet others may have only toned slightly. And those results are pretty common - and that&#039;s with everything being the same.</p><p><br /></p><p>Change things up, and of course changes are going to occur.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
