<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1247322, member: 75105&quot;]Hi everyone! </p><p>I am metal detectorist and also an avid coin collector. I joined this site because my metal detecting forum does not really have anyone who is an expert on coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, my whitman blue book of coins says for the best long term coin storage, to store coins in inert plastic tubes. I think that is a stupid idea due to the fact the coins would be touching one another, and scratching the front and backs of others as the tubes are handled.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use eBay and wizard coin for my supplies.</p><p><br /></p><p>Currently I use cardboard mylar holders for storing coins of values less than $30. I find that the Mylar does not seem to bother the coin, and I have a few coins that have been in mylar holders for over 10 years that still look great.</p><p><br /></p><p>For coins with a value over $30, I use air-tite holders as these seem to keep air out and prevent toning on silver coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>My question to the forum is what is:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. What are some other good protectors for long term storage of coins besides mylar 2x2 cardboard flips and air-tites?</p><p>2. I have a few large cents that someone cleaned, I have a product call &quot;cent toner&quot; however it tones some very good and others it actually brightens, what would be the cause of this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
