<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 483392, member: 112&quot;]The reason I ask is this, their newer albums are made of archival materials - the older ones are not. So even with the slipcase, it very well may be the album itself that is causing the toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I have discussed this more times than I can count. But if you want to discourage toning then proper storage methods must be followed. There are several things that make up proper storage methods.</p><p><br /></p><p>First and foremost is do not use albums - period. </p><p><br /></p><p>2 - Each coin needs to be in its own hard plastic holder - your choice as there are many. </p><p><br /></p><p>3 - coins must be stored in a closed container. That can be anything from a safe to a Tupperware container. But it needs to be closed to prevent air circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>4 - storage area needs to be in the dark</p><p><br /></p><p>5 - storage area needs to be someplace where the temperature does not change much, like in a closet</p><p><br /></p><p>6 - silca gel packs must be used and they need to be in the container with the coins. They also need to be checked, regularly, so that they can be recharged when needed.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do those things and you have pretty much done everything you can do to prevent toning. Don&#039;t do them or do them differently, or leave even 1 out - and you risk the consequences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
