<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3257204, member: 112&quot;]Do Intercept Shield products work ? Yes, they do. But how well they work depends on everything else you do.</p><p><br /></p><p>When it comes to proper coin storage - and I&#039;m defining that as meaning doing everything you can to protect the coin from contact with anything else, AND to slow down toning as much as possible - think of each thing you do, each step as a separate and different layer of protection.</p><p><br /></p><p>First step, a good quality, hard plastic coin holder. Second step, a container of some kind, made of inert materials, that can be sealed. Third step, place rechargeable silica gel packs inside the container. Fourth step, store that container in an area that is cool, dark, and where the temperature varies as little as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can throw in additional layers as well, Like let&#039;s say you use a safe to store your coins, that safe that can serves as your primary container. But you also put your cins into a Tupperware container and then put that in the safe. That adds a layer of protection. Or, you can use the Tupperware inside the safe and put you coins in Ziplocks in the Tupperware and then in the safe, that adds another layer. Or, you can use Intercept slab boxes and put them in the Tupperware and then in the safe. Everything you do adds an additional layer of protection.</p><p><br /></p><p>The one thing you have to be careful of is that you DO NOT put any paper, cardboard, or anything else that is not inert in your safe or any other container with your coins. For proper coin storage you need inert materials only.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - One thing I did not add and probably should have, I myself used Intercept Shield slab boxes for many years and never once had any issues with toning. But I also did everything else I could (as described above) to prevent it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
