<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3001733, member: 112&quot;]You don&#039;t have to wait anywhere near that long, not even a tiny fraction of that long, to see changes in the toning. If you took before and after pictures under the same light and same settings you could see the changes in just a few years. but people don&#039;t notice the changes because they typically look at their coins a regular basis, and by doing that they don&#039;t notice the changes because they happen so gradually.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anybody who thinks that coins don&#039;t continue toning, even with proper storage, just consider all the slabbed coins there are that have noticeably changed in a relatively short period of time.</p><p><br /></p><p>I myself have taken ASEs fresh from the mint. Placed each one in an Air-Tite holder, then put them inside a tupperware container, and stored them with all my other coins. And yes I used silca gel packs. And in just a few months they toned, and very noticeably so. Each and every one of them had purple toning around the edges. And bear in mind, this was in Utah, the second driest state in the country !</p><p><br /></p><p>I have been promoting proper storage on this forum for as long as this forum has existed. And I did it for years before that on other forums. And for years before that before any coin forum existed, before the internet existed.</p><p><br /></p><p>As long as there is air that can get to the coin - toning never stops, not ever ! When you get right down to it it&#039;s physics and chemistry - not exactly things you can argue with. No matter how much you wish to believe otherwise.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
