<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 5300525, member: 101855&quot;]Store you coins away from extreme humidity and make sure that the temperatures are within a very narrow range. Having the temperature constantly going up and down promotes condensation, especially in plastic holders. Moisture promotes spots and toning, almost never the good kind of toning.</p><p><br /></p><p>Places to avoid are attics, garages and even closets backed by outside walls in cold climates. I’ve seen collections that have been stored in attics were the coins got baked in the Florida heat and in safes in garages that were in the Massachusetts cold. The results were not pretty. It’s even possible to “cook” a gold coin in the Florida heat if it is stored in packaging materials that wilted or melted. A multi-piece U.S. commemorative set with gold immediately comes to mind.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
