<p>[QUOTE="GSS, post: 2339452, member: 77221"]IE; The RCM vacuum seals Silver Maple Leafs ,..I've noticed even online small intrusions or more likely air that never got out causing toning. (usually after about 10 years) So your detail helps affirm an argument that I tend to agree with. The problem here is why I originally posted, which was some guy was wondering why he can't store his coins in the attic. .I believe ,still...properly stored within time limitations , bullion or even valued numismatic coins could be stored in these described "worst places" ., if properly stored ,for extended periods with very plausibly some incremental toning . So what !. Toning is attractive and silver coins placed in inert tubes or as previously stated in safes ,which claim to keep moisture out ,...should in fact keep coins from destructive corrosion. The corrosion would occur (by your description ,I agree) So I agree with your argument but disagree with the rigid black and white attitude of most of the posters here. I think one guy described coins he bought that toned horribly because they were left in an attic in a old fashioned Whitman album, totally unprotected from the elements for 10 years Well,...No kidding .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
