<p>[QUOTE="petro89, post: 1656248, member: 17048"]Any exposure to air/gasses/material/another object could cause a coin to change over time. The best thing you can do is keep the coin in a slab (if its value warrants) or an airtite holder. This is step one. The 2nd step is considering where the coin is stored. They need to be in a dry place because moisture is definately an enemy. If you have your coins in a safe for example, you need to be using dessicant or silica gel to absorb the moisture and keep things nice and comfy for your collection. The proper holder and the proper storage will keep your coins how you want them for the most part, and keep your toning looking nice. You can't stop it 100% but with the proper measures you can slow down any coin changes to where they're not really noticeable at all even through the years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
