<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 974204, member: 112&quot;]Yes, I agree. But stored correctly is the key here. Do you realize what storage methods were even available in the &#039;30s &amp; &#039;40s ? Coin flips didn&#039;t exist. Plastic coin holders didn&#039;t exist. Silica gel packs didn&#039;t exist. So how exactly were these coins supposed to be stored properly to slow down the toning ?</p><p><br /></p><p>What you had in the &#039;30s and &#039;40s were a few coin boards, and fewer coin folders. Both of these were saturated with sulphur laden paper and glues. Then you had paper envelopes - same problem. Then you had cardboard trays with little slots for storing your coins - again same problem. Then there were very few coin cabinets - again same problem.

Proper storage methods did not exist. And that&#039;s why you can say that just about any untoned older coin you see has been dipped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
