<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1488623, member: 112&quot;]You do realize that we are talking about coins that were minted in the 1800&#039;s ?</p><p><br /></p><p>When there were no modern storage methods, no coin holders. When every light in your house was either whale oil, coal oil, kerosene, or candles - which all put off contaminants that would readily tone any coin stored in the house. When your source of heat was either a coal stove, a wood stove, or a fireplace - which also all put off contaminants that tone coins stored in that house. When there were no exhaust fans or anything to remove those contaminants from the house. When there were no silica gel packs to reduce humidity, when there was no A/C.</p><p><br /></p><p>It was a different world people liven in then. You could not stop a coin from toning if you wanted to.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for these coins you&#039;ve had for a year and that have not toned. I&#039;d bet you that they have toned, you just haven&#039;t noticed it. But it&#039;s easy enough to prove. Take any coin you want that you&#039;ve had for a year, dip half of it. And I&#039;ll bet you your coin is two different colors. That means it has toned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
