<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3337673, member: 112&quot;]Well, one thing has to be understood and simply accepted - there is nothing we can do to stop toning. Every coin there is begins to tone the moment it is made. And that toning will continue throughout the life of the coin until eventually the coin is destroyed. Now depending on conditions that could be in a short time, relatively speaking, or a very, very long time. </p><p><br /></p><p>The best we can ever hope for is to slow toning down as much as possible, and we do that with proper storage. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the Intercept Boxes, there are a couple of different ones, individual coin boxes and slab boxes, and I&#039;m not sure which ones you&#039;re referring to. I personally have never used the individual boxes so I can offer no personal opinion on them. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I did use the slab boxes for a long time. I stored coins in them for well over a decade and never once saw any toning that was detectable by me. But I must also comment that I utilized proper storage methods. Individual hard plastic holders - Air-Tites or slabs, rechargeable silica gel packs which were checked and recharged as needed, only inert materials inside the safe, and a high quality safe that did not produce interior moisture on its own.</p><p><br /></p><p>And it must also be understood that each and every individual home is a unique environment, and environment plays a huge part, a very huge part, when it comes to toning - in either direction. </p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line there are literally thousands of variables, and each and every one of them will affect toning - one way or the other.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
