[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1633203, member: 15929"]Hmm. If you put your coins in a Dansco and come back in a couple of years to find them toning, I don;t really think that there is anything you can do differently since the environment you live in simply tones the coins. Myself, my state quarters have been in a Dansco from DAY ONE, stored either on a Bookshelf or in my wooden file cabinet drawer and none have even the slightest "hint" of toning. NONE. Even the Silver Proofs. Zippo! These coins were collected starting in Colorado in 1999 through 2007 when I moved to Cali-CORN-ia. They've been through hot and cold but ne real heavy humidity. Still. Nothing. The Silver Eagles on the other hand do have some toning which is Mississippi Mud ugly. But then, Silver Eagles are 99.999% Pure whereas the Silver State Quarters are only 90% Silver. Personally, while your efforts are honest, I think you're over thinking the whole thing. Just put em on a bookshelf and fuh-get-about-it! Those that might possibly tone can easily be replaced should the necessity arise.[/QUOTE]
