[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3065309, member: 112"]First, read this - [url]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/coin-albums-holders-damaging-quality.314189/page-2#post-3046107[/url] Now that post in particular is talking about albums, but if you read it you'll see where I say that cardboard is bad for coins - that means ALL cardboard, not just albums. And 2x2s are made of cardboard. So, if you really want to protect that coin from toning to the best of your ability, the first thing you need to do is get it out of that 2x2 and into a proper coin holder - a hard plastic coin holder, like an Air-Tite for example. Then you have to also store it properly, which I also discuss in that post. And do not use acetone on copper coins as that in and of itself is a risky thing to do.[/QUOTE]
