<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 695488, member: 19456&quot;]I&#039;ve been putting mine into a Littleton album since 1999. From 99-last year that was the closest I came to coin collecting. And the answer to your collection is YES, they are toning! Some more then others. Most are a yellowish color, however some have some shades of blue. For some reason Arkansas is blue, brown, gold, green and yellowish gold. I don&#039;t know why that one coin has toned so much. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Before I really became a collector, I thought it was just the yellowish paper and the reflective nature of the coins that made it look like they were yellow. Then I learned better. Then, when I was putting last year&#039;s in, I paid more attention and they picked up a yellowish tinge by the time the next issue came out! </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am glad I found out that way, by collecting state quarters only for so long. I do NOT like toning, so I learned not to put my coins in folders. It may have saved thousands of coins!! I store my year sets in the plastic holders that have a space for each denomination. I only have a few for now but eventually my entire collection will be in them, for now the rest are stored in plastic (NON-PVC) trading card holders.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
