<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mralexanderb, post: 1194965, member: 7851&quot;]Check out my reply to the similar thread.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t177865/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t177865/">http://www.cointalk.com/t177865/</a>&nbsp; # 6</p><p><br /></p><p>It basically explains how to keep your coins air dry and safe from oxidation (toning).</p><p><br /></p><p>But I do like the posts about the large quantity of silica that&#039;s available at various craft stores. My main point in preserving these coins/bullion is to put them in a vacuum re-suckable bag (Reynolds) that you can reopen, add coins, remove coins and also replace the silica pack, and resuck closed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I own a 2006 W Indian/Buffalo 1 oz. .9999 gold Proof $50 coin, that I really loved the way it looked. It may very well be my most beautiful, favorite coin. But, as I&#039;ve mentioned before, MY PURE GOLD developed a red spot on the obverse. I never took it out of the OGP and now there it is with a spot. I think this support Doug&#039;s point about every coin, even gold, will tone. </p><p><br /></p><p>My point is, that you can do the best you can in preserving the various coins you possess, but nature will intervene and do what it wants when you don&#039;t expect it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck in you&#039;re attemps and, please, let me know if you have a better process for preserving your coins as you bought them.</p><p><br /></p><p>No storage is perfect. But if you hermetically seal a coin to where you can never break it out again then you should sell it to someone who can appreciate it and, even actually look at it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
