<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 80798, member: 112"]Toning on coins can be prevented, but it's not easy. Circumventing nature is never easy - and it's the nature of coins to tone. But what causes a coin to tone in a particular way is dependant on many things. As has already been mentioned, the container the coin is stored in plays an important part. But so does the area of the country you live in - relative humidity & temperature variations. Then the way you heat your house matters too - natural gas, propane, heating oil, electric heat - each of them will result in different effects when it comes to toning. How you cool your home - is it central air or a swamp cooler ? One removes humidity and the other creates it. Smoking will affect them too. What's near your home matters too - is there a paper mill, a steel mill, any kind of manufacturing plant - in other words, anything that discharges chemicals into the air - all of these also have their own unique effects on coins toning. </p><p><br /></p><p>You see - the variations and the things that cause coins to tone in a particular way are infinite. But the thing that stops toning is singular - all you have to do is don't let the coin come into conatct with anything - even the air.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
