<p>[QUOTE="Morgandude11, post: 1521740, member: 37839"]Naw, green I wasn't trying to argue with you. IT is just that some climates and storage methods that are totally legitimate have a drastic impact on silver coins. The 2x2s can and will tone silver coins in a short period of time, if left exposed to the elements. I have seen it with mine own eyes. Same goes for albums and flip storage in a humid place. A lot of my toned coins have come from Southern Climates, where heat in the Winter is a non-issue, and windows are left open in the Winter, as it is warm enough. That level of humidity in a house could well tone a coin in a couple of years. Also, my house down here (that I lived in for years before selling it and buying this condo) had a shallow well for irrigation--lots of stinky Sulphur water. The minerals in the air in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia are enough to tone an unprotected Silver coin in a short period of time, quite naturally. I had a white Morgan get toned in two years, and I guarantee that I did nothing to accelerate it, but leave it in a flip.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
