<p>[QUOTE="Steve Shupe, post: 8239729, member: 114551"]That is not exactly true. If the object is removed from the source of air and moisture, it will stop toning. Normal air has moisture. If you live in a part of the country that has a higher humidity level, the oxidation or toning will be elevated. That is why if it is sealed away with a desiccant, The desiccant with absorb the moisture and limit further corrosion. a sort of suspended hibernation. I have many silver coins that still have their bright finish that were slabbed a couple of decades ago. The sonically sealed slabs prevent reaction by limiting the air/moisture and other contaminates that causes the toning from reaching the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
