<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 186851, member: 4552"]I have numerous Proof sets from as far back as the early 50's. None have toned to any degree at all. What I've done over the years is take a Proof or Uncirc set and put the entire thing in an addition freezer type plastic bag and squeeze out all the air. Then it is sealed with heat. I have some kind of electric heat thing that only warms plastic enough to melt pieces together. It came with a set for mending vinyls, plastics and things like auto seat covers. It never worked to well on that but does seal out any air from coin sets like the proofs. Another nice thing is the original plastic seal from the Mint stays intack. I also use that little heater it for plastic coating insurance cards, ID cards, etc. An iron for ironing may work but on the really lowest setting. Like I said been doing that for over 50 years and no problems yet.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
