<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1303540, member: 112"]There's more to proper storage than just the coin holder, but that is the start. In a nutshell, coins need to be stored in a sealed container - that can be a safe, a Tupperware bin, or something like that. That sealed container then needs to be stored in a cool, dark place where the temperature rarely changes. Like a closet in your home - hopefully one that has no exterior walls. And you need to use silica gel packs (inside the container) that are properly sized for the container, and change or recharge them as needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do that and toning should be slowed down so much that you'll never notice any change.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course that is assuming that there are no environmental contaminants on the coin itself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
