<p>[QUOTE="Boss, post: 408499, member: 15110"]<b>Proofs in Dansco</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I have just removed the more valuable quarters from my Dansco album with slip cover always in use. For a short period I had my Dansco's in the safe without ziplocks being under the wrong impression :desk:that the ziplocks had PVC. Now all Dansco albums back in ziplock with dessicant, Reynolds Handyvac-vac sealed bags (comes with a little machine that sucks out the air) and new copper pennies surrounding to take oxidation hit (I remove these when they get ugly or tone). I have removed many of those quarters because of noted toning after about 6 months to one year in the albums. They toning is attractive, but I am not sure I want it. I think the toning occurred when they were out of the ziplock and I subsequently had purchased new shelves that were made of particle board and carpet. They smelled like new car smell <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. So I can't be sure what the cause of toning was. I now have a room a/c installed, tons of dessicant, sealed my safe better with foam sealing the door. Not sure if I should buy Intercept album or put in air-tites or put in Intercept 2x2's? For now I put the expensive quarters (Choice BU and above) in Intercept 2x2's. And yes the proofs have toned and have that cloudy look (it varies though and some look fine). Humidity in safe is 45-50% and working to decrease with more dessicants. In the ziplocks the humidity is less as the dessicants never seem to turn "pink" forever so it has to be low humidity in there. Hope that helps. I myself am lost<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
