<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ACW, post: 355863, member: 4807&quot;]IMO, I just don&#039;t think there is a &quot;perfect&quot; storage method to guarantee that a coin will never tone.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like all my coins I only buy them at coin shows or a coin shop.&nbsp; Even then I have had to refuse coins because the dealer picked them up by the obv/rev with bare fingers.&nbsp; Large open fields with a large fingerprint make for one ugly coin.&nbsp; Also you get to personally pick your coin and can usually get a little better price when dealing in person.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think the environment where the album is stored will have more influence on the the time an entire surface will tone more than the album it is stored in.&nbsp; I have some ASE&#039;s and Maple Leaf&#039;s that have been stored in cheaper cardborad album sleeves for over 10 years and the outer edge is all that has toned and they are stored in a humidity controlled cabinet.&nbsp; I couldn&#039;t really give an accurate time period of how long it would take yours but I can truthfully say mine will take.... longer than 10 years.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
