<p>[QUOTE="GSS, post: 2339488, member: 77221"]And so I continue to agree with your argument but ... the time it takes a well sealed coins ,coins in modern safes ,inert tubes etc...to be noticeably corrosive is literally years .Different environments obviously go from a year to 10 years ,ultimately corrosion occurs. A little tarnish on bullion coins does not decrease value at all. That is what the guy asking if he could store his coins in an attic was inquiring about, which is why I answered a 2 year old post. The rationale that bullion coins properly contained in basements , attics or environments that are not static will be devalued is absurd. Numismatics are a different argument. Personally ,I like toning on coins ,I believe the value can be enhanced if the toning is even (natural) and relatively light . If a person wants a blast white coin to remain nearly as it was the day it was minted ,I completely agree with your argument .You have explained logically why ,which all others have not ,which is why I said the discussion was ,...rigid[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
